Thank you, is the adress address you PMed me still up to date?

Hello, i would like to get my locks working on the same key as my ignition. can i just take this to any locksmith? i also need new stones in the boot lock, as mine is an empty barrel that can be opened with a screwdriver

8000 is the cheapest quote. this is because i am 17 and this is my first car. im also considering going abroad for university so i may have to sell the car anyway. at least i had fun restoring it.

i had to send my v5 to the dvla, all the post offices said they would not do it.

i managed to get them off in the end, but not without drilling right through the heater knob though :( I fixed it with some hot glue and spray paint

yes, i have drilled as far through as i can go without drilling right through it, cant be corrosion as the wd40 did nothing. i guess i could try a thicker drill bit?

Still not coming off, I'm completely stumped.

i tried drilling it out today and its still not coming off, i put a little bit of wd40 in it and i will let it sit overnight.

I managed to get the other two off, but no ammount of prying is getting the fan knob off. I tried to push the pin, and that did not work. I will have another go tommorow.

I will probably do that, some rubber ones should be period correct :)

Hello, i want to replace the decal on my heater control, and also paint the little pictures on the knobs of my heater control, but i do not know how to remove them. The car is a mk5 but i believe its the same in the mk4 and 3. Thanks

Thats a lot of rust, no holes though thankfully. Mine wasnt nearly as bad, and i just used some sheets of foam from ebay. I also put foam on the inside of the box to better insulate the hot air from the cold air when the flap is open/closed.

update: I dyed the carpet and it looks better than it did, but still not good. i dont have 300 pounds for a new carpet at the moment so i guess i will settle for this. Mostly it looks ok, but i think i used not enough dye. There were also two large dark stains in the rear footwell area, as if something was spilled. The dye did not cover these. I used the spray bottle method.

ahh, right. i did want to remove the metal framework as the rust i needed to fix is between the windscreen seal and the back of the top metal framework. I think this is caused by a leak in the windscreen seal.

Nevermind:( will not be removing the dashboard, after removing the top plastic (which was glued on for some reason) I noticed that a previous owner decided to weld the dashboard either side. It's OK though as I should have enough room now to fix the rust I wanted to fix.
