  1. Hi, I have just had new rear shoes and pads and also new cylinders and brake cables fitted to my gti which is all standard. One of the brakes though is locking and getting hot but the other is fine. Even with the offending shoe completely slackened off it is locking slightly. They are the Girling type brakes, could this be a master cylinder problem or is this possibly something else?

    Keyed Alike Door Locks

    Hi all, A while ago, someone tried to relieve me of my 205 whilst it was in a car park. They didn't manage to get into the car or take it away (must have been the YT) but they did damage the locks. The door locks were subsequently replaced and I now have two keys for the car. I will soon be taking the door cards out and re-fitting the central locking motors after sourcing a replacement n/s motor (and maybe a pair of cheeky 5.25" woofers if I can find the right ones at the right price). Whilst I'm doing this, is it possible for me to take the replacement door locks out and change them so that they operate with the original key? If so, does anyone know if this is hard to do or if there is any guidance that exists about how to do this? I have seen a couple of companies online that claim to be able to do this work but it looks expensive so I'm thinking 'if they can do it, so can I' Any help appreciated. Ian.
