Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Hello

Just wondering if anyone knows before i go on a mission to find out, my passat front left and right door no longer control the central locking. I have no remote so have to open via boot. I tried today using the button in the car to lock all the door and that worked so the "mechanism" seems to be sound but the key just twisting in the lock. Anyone know what is causing this?

Have another question as well if that's allowed, where is the best place to source a Front linkage kit i.e the stuff that connects the car to the wheels / axles / suspension, sorry i don't know the proper term for it in English) so don't even know what to bing for! Bit pathetic i know but i'd like to know, the wheels keep going up at an "angle" when you twist the steering wheel /turn and it annoys me. Suspension is fine, driving in straight line fine just turning slow corners - annoying.

Help appreciated
