timmaaah 0 Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Hi all - I've been absent for a short while, but I collected my car this morning with a fresh MOT test and tax. Hurrah! I'd forgotten just how nice they are to drive. Passed with no advisories, but had some brake work done before she went in for her test. She did fail on emissions before she was taken off the road 18 months ago, but a new set of plugs and leads, and she sailed through this time. So yeah - car back on the road! GG!! Except that the central locking has decide to literally just stop working, and seeing as I have Passat de-locked handles, I can't lock the car :/ I have put up a thread in ice and secure, any pointers gratefully received. Laters :) Edited March 17, 2017 by timmaaah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted March 21, 2017 It is slower on here now. Facebook is killing most forums I think. A lot of the old guys have moved on as well so the banter is a bit thin on the ground these days. Few of us still plodding along though. Should do an east anglia mini meet in a pub somewhere no the weather is improving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spen 0 Posted March 22, 2017 Yes that would be good, I'm only since late last year back into it, getting my VR back from the paint shop early April so would love to show off a bit!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmaaah 0 Posted March 22, 2017 A mini meet sounds like a good idea, I'm deffo up for that :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted March 22, 2017 I'm still here too :lol: Well done on the pass, as for the central locking, it's worth taking the pump apart to see what's happening or not, I had one fail in the past as there is a spinning slotted part in the middle ( you'll know it when you see it) that broke on mine...... it directs the air I'm sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spen 0 Posted March 22, 2017 If it's just the bumpkins from the east, what about this place? Fairly central for Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and great if you live in Cambs mic_VR http://www.thecutterinn.co.uk/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
