We have no central locking today, we had a new battery yesterday (relevant or not)......will it be frozen? we have 18 inches of snow and minus 8 temperatures.....any advice very welcome.
thanks

Do you mean a remote fob central locking issue or central locking where you put the key into the door?
I think the culprit can be the wires that run between the door hinge and the body of the car. Held in place with a couple of clips and this collection of wires can become broken - could be more brittle by frozen weather?
There is a fuse to check too fuse 4 30 amp drivers side under the steering wheel.

Hi
I think Lewy's right....ours works at minus 20 odd, but as to whether you can open the doors is another matter...it's usually a hair-dryer job!, but the Bongo won't start anyway, as our winter diesel here is ****....
Cheers
