ric220 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 Hi all. Following some great advice on this forum I've just bought a '99 Sharan 1.8t, 2 owners and 91k miles, all for £1000! Apologies for posting a non-galaxy question here but vw don't have equivalent site! Can I ask a couple of questions; My car drives really well, engine plenty of poke and great build quality inside. However I'm really struggling to find a comfortable driving position. Regardless of seat settings I'm constantly tensing because the under knee /leg support is very low and therefore there's nothing to rest leg on and my foot creeps down onto the (VERY sensitive) accelerator. Anyone else have this problem and can they offer a solution? Secondly, the car only came with 1 key and, while the remote flashes when pressed it doesn't lock /unlock. Any idea where to start in trying to resolve? Finally, the 3rd brake light doesn't operate at all. Can't imagine all bulbs have blown so would appreciate suggestions as to where to start. Thanks a lot for reading this - hope you can help! Quote

ric220 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Posted July 4, 2013 Thanks gregers and big Dave. There's no seat base angle adjustment and am sitting here with an aching leg after a meagre 1hrs driving today! Wondering whether I cd buy a used seat from galaxy or abracadabra with more adjustment?? Will look at faq re brake light. Not sure how to solve locking issue without giving Mr vw stacks of hard-earned... Quote
