brought it Sunday without drivers window working,fixed yesterday and put all back together today
closed door and locked car...happy bunny......went to get back in car and drivers door pin came up but couldn't get in??? Tried boot....OK, tried passenger side......OK, so my door is no OFFICIALLY locked shut with me having no way to open it. Pin all way up and neither inside nor outside handle opens the door.
Stripped down door(s) and compare the 2........took lock ect from passenger and studied it. disconnected the central locking pipe to play with the diaphram but still no joy........put passenger side back together and thats fine.
Pressed button by accident before managed to put central locking pipe back on drivers side and the pump in the boot went made for 5 mins.......couldn't stop it........started smoking so unplugged it and got it out to cool down.
In the end i put car in garage in pieces with the intention to either a) burn it, b) fix problem and start to enjoy it (preffered) or c) sell the f**king thing.
Now assuming need new central locking pump for MK5 + still cannot get in drivers door as locked and stuck closed.
MOT due Tuesday and TAX now.....PLEASE HELP
