How do you remove the window from the door? Also, on the new door that I have fitted, the door can open and lock using the handle inside, however when you put the key into the barrel of the door it is jammed and will not turn. Is this a broken barrel?

Hi, My mate has my old n/a, its not on the road he is doing it up and wants it on the road by feb, the car was fine before he took it but now the brake pedal is bouncing back at you when braking, I had no problem driving 300 miles home when i bought it. I have taken the abs fuse out to dis activate the abs incase that was the problem but no joy, surely the disc can not be warped its just been stood, the brakes dont look too dirty either. any ideas dor the the lad cheers.
