Silicone grease is what was recommended to me. Just a very thin smear works well.
Morning Kermie. Any idea what temp it works down to? It was -4.5 yesterday. Golden Girl was an ice block. I've never had these issues before, in UK. I am on call through the night, sometimes, and 2 hours for the car to defrost won't cut it. She now has a cover on, and I'm looking at engine/battery blanket, but every little helps.
it works by keeping the water off the seals so they can't freeze to the body
An electric block heater as used in Canada does the job.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Now just to find something that will work with the locks
I've always sprayed a bit of WD 40 into mine over the years and been fine on car locks and padlocks for gates and shedsThanks. I'll give it a shot. Now just to find something that will work with the locks
But works well for stopping door locks freezing in winter as it's a Water Dispersant. It can always be flushed out in spring.WD40 attracts dirt then dries out to a gummy mess
Forgot to say that I do give car door locks a squirt of contact cleaner before hand. My fault
Chuck some water on and the doors will come oftSilicone spray ordered from screwfix, couple of miles away ,just waiting for the text.
Ta everyone
.
Before or after they freeze?Chuck some water on and the doors will come oft
Not to mention the airconditioned garage
its rather vulgar to call the south wing a 'garage'
