The missus took the motor to Glenrothes some wee fanny tried to break in! My driver door lock is effed and now I have to climb in the passenger side scoot across (much harder than it sounds). Phoned the garage and they want £180 to sort it, does that sound steep I believe it does?
My car has this new fankled invention called central locking . I press a wee button and the doors unlock automatically . Amazing so it is
Its a ****ty old fiesta (1999) don't want to pay much as I don't imagine keeping the car for much longer and it has very little sell on value. I think I'll take it apart myself and see how much worse I can make it.
Why don't you ring round the scrappies and see if you can get a new door . Be a lot cheaper than 180 bucks .
A door with a key might be hard to come by, I've noticed you can get locked to fit my car on ebay for about 20 bucks, I'll just try that if I cannae fix it. Trust me to get the only thief makes your car more secure!
You don't need a key if your car has central locking . All you do is connect up the new door to the system and hey presto . They even supply wee connectors in each door for that very reason . Sup to yerself though .
You fail to understand the severe afflictions beset upon the largely mutant population of Glenrothes.
I used to speak to a few of those people back in 2006/07 and 2 of them were driving Novas, by choice The other had an old mini with no backseats, just a 40" subwoofer that he had collected from a drug debt. Classy folk...
I had a wee apprentice years ago who said his girlfriend was getting his car lowered for him for his Christmas . I asked him what kind of car he had and he said an escort . So am like what kind of Escort thinking it's gonne be a XR3i or an RS2000 or sommit . Its an Escort fannybaws (canny mind the name of it) . It had an 1100 engine in it ffs . Wit the **** is the point of that ?
It's a no brainer. A '99 Fiesta isny even worth £180. www.webuyanycar.com ...and have six or seven pints of beer on what you get for it.
Glenrothes is mental. I worked there for about a year in one of their business parks. One guy I worked with had his stag do while I was there. He went to Edinburgh for it and visited some lap/table/stripper establishments. One of the cows wrote "am a durty ****" on his back in lipstick. He came into work 2 days later with livid marks around his neck. His prospective missus had attempted to strangle him with a telephone cord
