| 428163 | 2006-02-08 21:16:00 | What are you going to buy with the $200 ? Strange economic thinking Mark, I didn't gain $200, I simply avoided paying it, so I do not suddenly have a $200 surplus to spend. Even if I did have a windfall $200 I wouldn't just go and blow it, there are too many important things like food, phone and power etc to be paid without wasting that much hard-earned. Yeah yeah, I know, boring boring boring, but living for today and letting tomorrow look after itself is not our style. That's why we've been mortgage and debt free for nearly 20 years. This way we can do whatever we want, whenever it suits us without having to think about where the money will come from or who we won't pay this month. That is also why I spent 30 minutes of my time (works out at $6.66 per minute) and a 45c stamp to send a polite letter so that I didn't spend $200 that I didn't need to. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 428166 | 2006-02-09 08:14:00 | Where's the car now ? Sitting in my driveway waiting for me to fit the replacement ignition/steering lock assembly ($75 from the wreckers). The munted door lock will be swapped with the good unit from the passenger's side, and the dud will not be connected to the locking mechanism again. Then I'll fix a couple of things and get a new warrant, then sell it. I bought a replacement for my wife because this make/model is too popular with the bad guys now. All's well that ends well. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 428167 | 2006-02-09 09:02:00 | Just to introduce a bit of negativity to it all I think if you swap the munted doorlock with the passenger sude one the munted one ( now on the passenger side) won't be warrantable. pretty sure door fittings must work as intended. Cheers. Have to get another car myself, mine won't get another wof. Tsk. m |

Manual door opening, inside and out, and locking (from the inside) will work as normal. WoF doesn't cover vehicle security, i.e. they don't check that your keys work. If you had an accident with the doors locked, nobody would be able to open the door without the key (which would be inside with the driver) so a munted and non-functioning exterior lock tumbler is of no consequence.

| 428170 | 2006-02-10 02:39:00 | It's parked on your driveway? Oh dear . It's therefore on a road: a road is "a place to which the public have access, whether as of right or not . " 10 foot high block walls and razor wire seem to be indicated . |
