Have not tried Mick yet, will try tomorrow.
I have found plenty in the UK and US, but would prefer to buy locally.
Is the same unit used for right and left hand drive?

if the vw part number has a c on the end
it usually means made in china
b = brasil m = mexico etc... g = german
or made in usa...

I bought one a few years ago from VW and Volvo centre at Salisbury. You could also try Leons as well.
