Izuzu pickup locks freezing.

[simmy_bull]

Just wondered if anybody else had the same problem as me. When it freezes and my pickup is unlocked it must contract something and pull the lock locked! It then can’t be unlocked to get into the vehicle. Usually only happens on the drivers door as I’m assuming that’s the one I use all the time there must be a bit of damp about in winter time.

Anyone got any good suggestions? As it’s a PIA having to climb in through another door!!

What's the pickup? My D40 needs a shoulder barge as you press the unlock button sometimes

Leave the window down and explore your inner Bo Duke?

Silicone lubricating spray into all the mechanism

Its the only thing that really winds me up about it to fair, and I'll forget about till the next cold snap. Its over 17 years old now, owes me nothing and continues to fly though its mot each year with flying colours. So I cant moan to much. Bit more power would be nice sometimes mind, for a 2.5 turbo shes a little gutless compared to the newer stuff .
