That does not sound like fun,  :cbc: !

  It is also a nuisance when cheap, ragged dental floss snags a crown and pops it out!
   Spend a little more money on the smooth, ribbon-shaped floss made specially to resist shredding!  :tard:

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

Today I learnt that the driver's door latch on a Skoda Octavia is part of a single unit with the central locking motor. And that it is fucking expensive.  :shitfan:

I will find out in the morning if my pal at the garage has managed to find me a second hand one.  :crossed:

cheers. he's waiting on the guy at the breakers to check the part numbers to make sure the one he has will fit the Octavia, so I should know tomorrow whether I'm going to have to start combing ebay. The part new with tax is about £160 ($260)  :zombiefuck:

Took a while to get the part as my mate at the garage had to spend the best part of a day smashing the lock off first so he could take it to the VW breaker, but we got one off a VW Bora, £60/$100 guaranteed. I can stop climbing through the passenger door again now.  :2thumbsup:

Thanks.  Just misunderstood the difference between a door bell (the button) and the door chime (the bell).  Now I realize I should have called the electrician rather than assuming he'd know I'd buy the blasted thing ASAP.
