So remember I did the post battery resets and the passenger window fell out in sympathy of my Defender. I’m a bit jaded, should I still go out and fix it or leave it for tomorrow?

I'd try flushing it with contact cleaner first.I know this is a RR forum, but the VW one is W**k I'm having a problem with my VW Golf, the key is stuck in the barrel, (I have it out now) but if I put it in it won't turn like it should, I am 90% sure it's the steering lock, because even with the key out now, the steering won't lock on, so I am thinking this, I want to keep the original barrel If I can because then I don't have to buy new keys and get them coded with the car, and I am thinking the lock has noting to do with the key codes, and it can just be swapped over (although it looks a right pain in the backside to do it with special security break off screws) anyone know if this is right and your thought would be of help, thanks guys

It’s in the channel and is up securely. If I lower it then it will drop down again. I suppose if I tackle it now and hit a snag it could end up worse. Might just glue it shutIf you don't fix it then tonight's weather forecast will magically change and we'll get apocalyptic rain
I know I have some, I bought some for the house alarm to clean the carbon contacts on my house alarm, just have to find them, the WD 40 helped get the key out, but the contact cleaner will flush that away If I can find itI'd try flushing it with contact cleaner first.
Nothing but i don't know what's been doneWhat makes you think its linked to cc? Just curious cuz I don't know
I don't knowMust have been all mapped out inc egr I guess
What about insurance? It's an illegal mod that's not for road use, therefore my insurance isn't valid, though if i told them then i couldn't use it on the road anywaysI'd be more concerned that if you've noticed its been opened up, would an mot tester?
Is it adaptive cc? Whats it doing? or not doingNothing but i don't know what's been done
Theres loads running no egr, dgf deletes, mad mods that aren't declared. I think you'd be extremely unlucky to have an accident and insurance company to even think about looking at dpfI don't know

You've not met me, have youyou'd be extremely unlucky...
Dremel the heads off and hope youve got enough left on the bolt to unscrew it with some pliers or similar or cut a slot for a flat head screwdriver..?See these screws there's 2 of them holding the column in place, from manufacture the tops break off, so If someone tries to steal your car they can't undo them, this is the only problem I can see getting them off

Not too shabby my friend, taking it easy now and living the poor man's life, now I know how my chauffeur felt!!Evening pal hows it hanging
Not a golf but did quite a few astra when it was all rage to nick them, just tap them round half a turn with hammer and center punch and they would turn out by hand, might be worth a go.See these screws there's 2 of them holding the column in place, from manufacture the tops break off, so If someone tries to steal your car they can't undo them, this is the only problem I can see getting them off
