That happened on my GTI a while back. Quite easy to fix. You just get a new handle insert from VW (about a fiver) and then just transfer the lock. Takes all of 5 minutes

Aye, that's the plan.
The handle's coming from our good friend Brad though.
What's the trick for getting the handle out with the small holes at the back? I haven't tried it myself yet, but Bradley was having problems getting it out!

A screwdriver. It just pops out
You have to pop the barrel out first though if I remember correctly.

Cheers mate.
Can you even pop the barrel first? Without the handle out you can't access the otherside. the barrel's held in by 4 tabs, I assumed it was a case of gently prying them apart.

Ive always bought cars with cash and bankers drafts thats probably why its amusing
Ah fair play. Saying that though, a mate of mine still has my old 1.0 Mk5 and I rarely see them out in it when im out and about.
On the plus side though, at least you know its gonna be looked after near by

Yeh exactly, a cheque isn't normally the port of call!
Yeh definitely, plus there's been massive flexibility with the day of hand over due to finding a replacement which is great.
Gunna miss the car so much! I don't really want to sell it, but my lifestyle just isnt right for it at the moment.
