Iced Door Handles

Do freezing conditions have an effect on aluminium?

This morning I have trekked through the snow (ice) to the car, and gone to open the door and the corner of the handle has snapped.... I can't open the door from the outside, the other door lock has a different lock that i don't have the key for.......

Looks like no work today...

When I do eventually get in, I am assuming any range rover classic or discovery 1 or 2 handle will fit?

Can't you get in the back door?

Depends if your my boss...

if its like mine - yu can get in thru the floor.

I had to break into mine yesterday as I managed to lock myself out with the engine running and my phone and everything locked inside!
It was far to easy to do!

Herego....


I love the british weather.....

Just a thought but try some WD40, it might break through the ice.

Does wd40 repair broken aluminium? lol

FYI - dealer price on replacement door handle £76
ebay £21

Not unless it's been improved, but maybe it might be worth considering next time, although for 76 squids you won't want a next time.

What you mean all Disco's arnt cozzy in there very own garage with a little heater at night!!!!!! Only kidding mine started this morning no probs she had 3inches of snow seriously!! Chilterns. but the door was frozen shut, i really had to yank her it sounded really bad.

never yank a door open - slow steady pressure and it will give.
