Sorry dazz I thought that was a joke reply to preventing eletrocution! I know what you mean now, but Im wuite strong so managed to suspend the seat without touching the sides, like a big game of operation!

Thanks all done now
:happy2: Glad you got it sorted.

I have to ask, didn't your alarm go off at all when taking the negative off the battery? Mine goes off every time so I've had to make a lead up and connect a small 12v battery into the cigarette lighter socket

Nope. It was fine. Radio said it needed code, but then fluttered between nornal radio and asking for a code before settling on normal radio

vcds but not sure if it's the instruments you go into. or leave window open and set alarm wait I think is 30 seconds and then put your head or have in the car. :rolleye:

My alarm was in pieces when i got my car, bought a second hand one from ebay £10. Remove drivers side wheel arch liner and there is a metal box which contains the alarm you will need to drill out two rivets to get at it. If you plan to rivet it back on you will need a couple of big rivets and a decent rivet gun.

Thanks again dazza.

That's a :stupid: design from vw yet again with they're many other :stupid: designs.
Now I have to drill it out and rivet the box back up :mad:

I'm guessing like the tt one but less headache to remove and again the internal batteries had leaked the acid all over the pcb  frazzling it. They are cheap enough but I was thinking buy a new one and maybe relocate it into the engine bay without the box???.

You could replace the rivets with bolts just incase it has to come out again.

I might just relocate it to the bay and forget the box as a few years down the line it'll start all over again with melting he pcb as mentioned.

Thanks
