ampersand

Good morning all - having to use village college putah[have had no phone or i/net for 17 and 12 days respectively now and Primus can't seem to sort it out, their own systems being down when I phoned 2 days ago from neighbour's house, re: their 4 th '24>48 hours' broken promise.....that's a whole 'nother infuriation.] It has meant I've been unable to search for cheaper cost than the £75+VAT+fitting that my fenboys have been able to come up with, although they've tried. Passenger door was taken apart by Tom on Monday, but there was nothing he could bodge or resuscitate....Feeling besieged, money-hammered and helpless atm, being out of the communication loop. College library computer available again Friday. If anyone has any ideas, I'll try and log in then if I still have nothing. Please excuse pathetic moan tone of post.

############# Thanks for reply - I think I understand, but this would not be a bit of simples for me and wrong would be so wrong i might make a bad situ worse.. My car has central locking now, i think: when I lock driver's door, all doors lock[when they work :S . Assume this is what is meant. It's becoming urgent in terms of my being unable to use car for some pressing journeys.

####### Hello Alex, I'm not sufficiently clever to know whether or not they would help. My helpers' mobs are off atm -have been trying to ask. felicia16v also offered kindly to hunt for bits - he was just heading away for a great week over the water. There may be some other skoda locks to cannibalise if they are interchangeable, but no answers on this point yet. Thankyou again, B

Thankyou all, Have just pm'd felicia16v, hoping for follow-up answer to ? posted just now. Apologies if this is cheeky for a newbie - but car cannot be locked at all now, obviously a worry. Does anyone know why the leccie windows go up and down as they want, not stopping when I release the switch? Merci milleofois - looks a lovely day here, make the most of it [National Poetry Day - which I'm sure you all knew ]

Hello, back again - I have had no luck locating any second-hand locks, Felicia-specific, although a near-ish scrappy[new term for me and I like it :yes: ]has other Skoda's but doesn't know if they'd do. It's urgent now, as both locks have gone - had been using passenger side until last week's kaput moment. Can't lock car at all. I'll have to remove the locks myself, which I'm prepared to try, but no point unless they're transferable. Would it be acceptable for me, as newbie, to pm felicia 16v?

Just another newbie amazed that such a site exists. I see at once that I will be here often and thank another poster whose name I have just spotted. It is thanks to their answer on another site and forum that I have learnt of you. Now to see whether I - female of 61 of your earth years - can actually fix the spinning driver's door lock barrel..... Hope so, pension doesn't allow for unforeseeable nasties and little car is my lifeline, my freedom and my artery into my beloved France - forever on smell of oily rag. ######### This being my first time with leccie windows, might add that they seem to have a mind of their own re: opening and shutting, They'll whizz up and down, disregarding fact that I'm no longer pressing the button.
