My MK6 Recovery Truck

[alcapone]

Sides of the body are painted now where the old stickers were, Parrot Hands free fitted,

Only thing is the passenger door wont lock either with central locking, with the key or by trying to lock it from inside so as a temporary fix to stop no one breaking in to it I have had to disconnect the passenger side outer door handle

What happens (or doesn't happen) when you try to lock it? Does the leaver move?

Doesnt do anything at all, I tried pushing the lock button in from the inside but you can still open it from the outside

Does it have central locking? Does the lock button feel like it's working? I presume you've checked if any thing's got loose inside the door when you disconnected the external handle? Have you tried to manually lock the door directly on the lock rather than the lock button? Is the door securely shut when it's shut (shut it and press hard to make sure the mechanism isn't out of alignment)?

it does have central locking, Tried it with key in door, Tried it by making catch think door is shut by use of screw driver to act as the door striker.

Well suppose they are the same thing

Dont know if the "Scrap Cars Wanted" stickers are staying yet though,

Just bought some "Pillar Box Red" paint for the back where its looking a bit tired so gonna go out & paint that whilst its still sunny

personaly I would take them off, they just atract vosa / enviroment agency etc etc to check on what your doing with the cars your picking up and dish out fines for not having the proper licences for elv's. i would get some that say unwanted cars/MOT faliures bought.
since theres no phone number on there i cant really see the point in the stickers anyway in all the years ive had recovery trucks ive only had a couple of people ask if i wanted there scrap cars after seeing my truck. one of them was a chinese guy in a takaway who thought his p reg cat c write of micra was worth £200 when scrap was about £80 a ton

[chrisr]

Its having my phone number put on it on Wednesday, I think I will remove the Scrap stickers

[chrisr]

Had my own number put on the Truck today





Also on the Back window I had "Cars Bought For Cash £££" & my number.
