Steering wheel lock key won't work....anyone experienced the same?

Hi

Apologies if this isn't the right sub for this but I'm at a bit of a loss. I have a "stop lock" steering wheel lock on my van, I've had it about six years now but never had an issue with it.

Used it fine Saturday, then got into the van on Sunday and the key just wouldnt turn in the steering wheel lock. I've tried oiling it, nothing. Tried using spare key, also nothing.

Any tips or ideas? I'm reluctant to drill the lock or angle grind the whole thing off.

Where do chilli daddys buy their tofu from?

The stuff they use in their tofu noodle hotpot. Its my absolute favourite thing ever and I've never had tofu similar to that, the texture is 👌.

Surely there must be someone on here who's worked there and will spill their secrets for me 👀

Cruelty free ways of keeping slugs off my veg plz?🍆🥔🥕

Hi

​

Thought there might be fellow vegans gardeners in this sub with sone tips! I'm looking for ways to stop the slugs and snails chomping all my veg....obviously don't want to poison them but also don't want to sacrifice my plants 😭.

​

I've had some success with putting slices of cucumber down in the garden for them to munch on instead but as soon as it runs out they're on the plants. Copper tape doesn't work.

​

Any ideas great fully received!

Replacement parts for 2004 sprinter?

Hi

So I'm having an absolute nightmare finding a replacement handle/locking mechanism for the sliding side door on my Sprinter and wondered if anyone can recommend where to go.

A few weeks back the lock jammed and the side door wouldnt open at all. I bought a new lock/handle on ebay which said it would fit the 2004 model and took it to the garage to replace but they said it was the wrong one. They tried to fix the old lock but now it still has an issue where if you shut the side door from inside it automatically locks and then won't unlock 🙄

Ive been looking at people breaking 2004 Sprinters on FB marketplace but there's no one near me. I'm now on this website where you can search scrap yards for what you need and get quotes from vehicle breakers....ive just been quoted £72 for the handle/lock I need which seems obscene. Some places are selling it cheaper but without a key which is surely pointless as how would I lock and unlock it?

Anyone had this issue before and either fixed the old lock or found a replacement? This van is becoming a money pit 😂😭

Hi, we're looking to go this weekend but don't fancy being squeezed into an expensive campsite full of families 😅.

Looking for basic, maybe a field with portaloo/running water/not much more than that!

I know of a great one in the Gower that we were going to go to but it doesn't feel like beach weather 😭
