Just wondering if anyone elses Lude suffers from this when there has been a really cold frost?
Key will hardly go into unlock car door and when it does it does not turn. Spent 20 mins heating lock up this morning till i could actully get in the car!
Annoying!

Dip your key in warm water before leaving the house, or spray the lock with wd40 the night before, if you know its going to be cold.

Only time I have this problem is when I power wash the car. Just use the old bucket and hose method now.
