First problem! Door handle

[Alex C]

Hi all

As the temp have dropped, it seems my drivers door refuses to open from the outside.

The keyless system was a little odd in behaviour thinking back, in that I often had to actually pull the handle a little before recognition, whereas the other doors work with just proximity or the lightest of touches.

Now its just dead until the car has been driven a while, then it seems to work OK. I haven't yet checked for codes but will tonight or tomorrow.

I am likely stuck with stripping the door down and fitting a new handle or can copious contact cleaner / WD40 fix w temperamental one?

And where is the best source for one?

Thanks.
