If they said they didn't have it, what's the point in a visit for them to tell you the exact same thing ? Pointless journey in my book and one that'll just end up in a row.

I guess you could consider changing the locks ...

Then again, what the hell ..... you've got it insured, and that's why we pay it ..... you live 140 odd miles away and who from London would do that journey to steal your car ?

Glad you've got access to a mechanic for any problems you get with the car pal.

Now just get out and enjoy it !

Time to start lightening up everyone and let the guy enjoy his car.

My MK2 came from the factory with a tapedeck in 2004! lol

I wouldn't worry about the key mate. What makes you think the head gasket is going again? if it was done properly the first time it should outlast the life of the car before going again.

Is that you sean? the name southside is making me think it is .there is slight water in the oil but its not overheating or anything so i had it recovered back before i could do any damage.

As said dont worry about the key as Dan said no one is gonna travel all that way to nick it, if your really concerned get ureself one of those Stoplocks that go over the steering wheel.

Yeah its me. lol. Sure the water in the oil isn't left over from last time it had HG done? How longs it been standing before you bought it. Might just be condensation

ma mate picked up a 52 plate zr for £200 head gasket gone, new head gasket, mot, sold it for £1300

[leezs110]

Sounds like a nice little project you got there, give her a good clean get yer paps to check the head gasket & replace if needed & for what you paid you should be laughing!

As long as the car turns out right after you've done your servicing fella i'm sure it will be a nice little runner. Enjoy.
