The usual issue with VWs rear locks is the levers seizing in the barrel through lack of use, there's a clear plastic / rubber ring on the outside of the barrel supposedly to keep the weather out. These are usually yellowed, hardened and split, allowing water and road salt to pass by and corrode the levers and barrel. Remove it, strip it, lube it would be my advice. You'll then see if it is the correct barrel for the key or not. If you have a spare key you could try that too as after 20 years the keys and barrels will now have some wear and the levers may not be clearing the barrel housing

You don't have to have a rewind tool, push / turn / push / turn works all be it's a bit of a fiddle. I use an angle grinder key to turn and a G clamp to push the piston in. Rotate 180 degrees then push, rotate again etc. It takes a couple of mins per side with practice

Must have been the fumes from the nearby incinerator.......

A rough car but good runner with a decent amount of MOT would be worth £1K, a nice presentable car £3K an exceptional car £5K+ to the right buyer. I suggest you post pics of the good and the bad bits and be more specific about service history, MOT date, and location for a decent valuation

To add to that, you need a fully charged battery before you start the compression test, all spark plugs out, disconnect the crank sensor and there will be no fuel injected or any spark to ignite it

If you suspect a fueling issue give it a squirt of easi start whilst cranking http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_221705_langId_-1_categoryId_255221

I've had a description via PM Sean and they're not for me sadly, so you're welcome to do a deal with Monkey if you can

And up, can part ex good condition wings in blue plus cash for the right panels (I have a grey OS wing too)

£15 plus post if the cut leaves the arch intact, do you want the flap too?

Rust gets them at the very bottom edge where it tucks under the car and the arch lip where it meets and rubs on the liner.

I can do it, but obviously its well into the arch making it scrap and from your point of view the repair would be easier to disguise if the section was welded on the flat side rather than the arch. The petrol tank is still on the car so no cuts until next weekend at the earliest

Pics of the wings would be good please, what's your location?

Fair play, unrecognisable from where you started. I take it your a pro painter?

1 = No Most likely the column switch, but check bulbs / fuses also

1990 Corrado hydro pedal box, servo and master cyls I won't guarantee the master cyls due to age (may well be ok but don't want to be responsible for your totalled car!), but are ideal for set up £100

Feedback doesn't inspire confidence either............

Hi, I was viewing on my phone before, how much inside the arch do you need? Which side of the seam inside the door shut? I courier via My Hermes so £20 plus post by weight. https://www.myhermes.co.uk/ I'll do the cuts next weekend in daylight, the courier will take 7 - 10 days or so.

Not sure if you and stuart taylor can shre this panel, stu?

I have a complete shell with rot around the screen, rear quarters are very good, rear apron very good (debadged rear but has seams intact), sills very good, inner wings very good Small cuts £10, whole quarters £50. If you want a specific piece mark it on your car with masking tape and post a pic for a price, large pieces will have to be collection only
