had to take Rupert to the vets this morning, car frozen solid, doors wouldn't open, even after warm water pored on. it was -12 overnight and was still -9 at 9.30.

in the end i had to climb in through the boot and have the car running for half an hour before i could get in through the drivers door.

Perth had -19 glad i'm not Clive today:LOL:

No idea, but a good squirt the night before around any bit of the door that moves generally works.
Can't believe a southerner is giving a Scotsman cold-weather advice ??

TBH we havn't had any bad weather in Inverness like this in 10 years, so its not been an issue. the last we we had these temps was 2010, main diff though is we had a load of tree's and bushes close to the side of the house, one being a 150ft high pine that gave a lot of shelter to where i park. before i had those cut down i didn't even have to scrape the windscreen. i don't think its the seals as sucj i think its that locking mech in the door thats freezing
