Ooops! Well as said, locksmith took about 3 minutes to get in! I WILL be doing it myself if it happens again after watching him! Anyway, just went to get a new battery, and windows, mirrors, and radio weren't working! :angry: windows are now working again randomly, mirrors needed a new 20amp fuse! But radio is still dead. Tbh it looked as though the cables had been f**ked about with a million and one times behind there, so is probably one of those. Will have to investigate tomorrow with the other gazzillion things I have to do as well!

Gutted mate. Look on the brightside though, all this built up frustration can be taken out on the missus later on in the night  :wink:

No i don't mean with a stringed vest and some stella... :rolleyes:

Well it's not the coil.  :cry: have had to insure the piece of sh!t 306 for a week now as Im going to Bristol tomorrow night for Xmas with the folks. Will pop down to vw tomorrow though and get a nw ignition switch, (could be as radio has no power and windows are hit and miss),  fuel pump relay (I can hear it ping but can't hear fuel pump run so could be that as well) and ecu relay (really hope I've not blown the actual ecu though! Oh the joys of owning older cars!  :rolleyes:

Bit of a sh!t, whats actually happening with the car? Is it turning over? Getting fuel on prime? Getting any spark? The ECU doesnt do a fantastic amount on the KR so be surprised if uv blown it. Not an expert but spent alot of time f**king around with my golf before trying yo get that running.
