Really sad news.
Sandy was a gentleman who would go out his way to help you. He loved his car and meeting others like minded at shows.
He'll be sadly missed.

Jetta. I've been trying to get my hands on pretty special Mk2 Storm for some time and with the owner still unwilling to sell I set about looking for something a bit different. When I say different I really meant decent, unmodified and hardly any good ones left. Luckily trolling the net I found this ...

You've missed the" Caddilac looks with Swedish fuel economy" part.
Nothing to see here. It's mine. I'm off to sell a kidney. This'll be my pension fund when I retire.

I never saw it in the auction area at the NEC.

Have you tried moving the steering wheel from side to side whilst trying to turn the key?

Do you have an immobiliser Sandy?

Check the rubber flange beneath the carb and the inlet manifold isn't split. Start the car and gently tilt the carb from side to side and see if you can hear it drawing air or worse hanging off.

I'm with Nate on this one. The bottom inner part of the cover that is on before you put the belt on can cause this. I've seen it a few times.

These look similar and maybe could do a job.

I think the black wire comes off the horn push end not on the wheel.

It sounds like your horn push has split apart. If the part you have removed is just the rubbery bit then this is the case. You'll need to carefully lever off the rest as one and you'll only have one wire to detach.
A picture may help showing us what you have taken off.

Hi Matt

Gorgeous car. Not sure if its the same car but I think I saw this at GTI International in 2011. I think it was an Asian chap who had it.
It needs a polish

I'd use stainless steel ones as they'll not corrode in an area of detritus.

Cellulose thinners will take it off no probs and pretty quickly.

Spotted this tidy GTII in Hamilton retail park last week. I think I've saw this before. The owner was from Coatbridge. http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp177/neillyboy19/33d8a73cd1ad5384a35935f2c0cfff1d_zpsc343da46.jpg http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp177/neillyboy19 ...
