anyone got a link or can recommend a windscreen frost cover (the silver foil type) that fits a transporter windscreen, I’ve bought a couple from Aldi recently but a bit small so use them on the car

You could make your own to suite your own particular needs from silver bubble wrap. From a large home store B+Q sort of place or on line. You could add ties/fixing points mirror covers/ears or just fold some in the door jams. One point on the latter, just make a fold that exits the door jam slightly lower down then the upper fold in and any collected or pooled water then drips on the outside of the vehicle.

looking for a recommendation of a product I can spray into front door handles/locks to help stop the frost jamming them, I’ve treated the rubber seals, but the locks freeze (6.1 2021) it happened again today, opened the passenger door but then couldn’t latch door.
Closed , I don’t want to use anything oily if possible

As long as it is open at both ends it shouldn't be a problem? Assuming the ice has somewhere to expand to. Leave the tap open and pump switched off.

What pump is it? Can it be run dry? You would need to check if it will damage it.

My pump can be run dry, so I open the tap, block the water hose end (so it creates a vacuum) and release. A couple of go's and that's about all the water I can get out without dismantling the pump and pipes.
