Suspension & Steering / Re: How do I Replace the Ignition Barrel with the original key?
In case it helps -

When I bought my car, it came with a different lock and key for the passenger door. I wanted one key for all doors, so I sent the offending lock barrel to Crazy Quiffs, along with a spare key, and they sorted it for me. They must have a stack of those brass wedges to hand.

I don't recall the cost but it wasn't a lot.

Mk2 Parts Wanted / Gti steel wheels
Hi there
If anyone has a set of the 14" steel wheels, the type that were fitted to the early Gti's (and Drivers, I think?) I am interested in buying some.
Cheers

Mk2 Golf Chat / Re: Good garage guide...
Chapman Auto Service in St Albans have been very impressive in my experience. Independent VW specialist.

Also recommend Cambridge Road garage in Cosby, Leicester. Not a VW specialist but one (or more) of the mechanics is a fan, they know their way around older VWs. Honest and reasonably priced.

Mk2 Golf Chat / Bodyshop recommendations
Hi all
I wondered if anyone can recommend a body shop in Hertfordshire or London? (or further afield if they're really good!)
There is a bit of rust emerging under the windscreen on my mk2, around the windscreen wipers. I've decided to get it professionally fixed before it gets worse, hoping to get it booked in for post-lockdown.
Has anyone else had experience of fixing that panel, and how much did it cost? Hoping it's not extortionate but expect I'll be horrified when I get a quote! Anecdotes to the contrary are welcome  ;)
Thanks
Will
