Looks like an import, I don't recall UK cars being supplied with non colour coded mirrors and handles (or steel wheels). Regardless, nice find.
That’s one I missed cracking buy there Steve ..if your not keeping e bay auction it may well really sunrise you i for one would bid on it being a low mile diesel and I’ve also got a really good friend who would want it ..roll the dice on this one ??Yes it’s an Irish import from new. I’ll stop now though because it’s starting to turn into an advert and the car won’t be available via the forum.
Does that mean you have the switches, or a climate panel with the switches? If so, you know my next question!I’ve got black heated SE leather here but I think it would spoil it perhaps.

How did you diagnose the problem? Did you get the abs warning up or was it a different warning?
What a nice phone call to get Steve. Definitely not one to turn down. Co-incidently this video just popped up on my YT recommendationsHad a good day. I was contacted by an old lady who lived locally having decided to give up driving and was looking to sell her TDI. I don’t buy/sell anymore but with the same family from new, only 27k miles on the clock and 16 service stamps I really couldn’t say no to it; it’s the call we all hope for ?

Love the hubcaps too- what size wheels?
ABS was OK. It was the brake wear symbol. For some reason this cable is more likely to fail than the ABS cable. Actually I had the brake wear cable first come up about 6 years ago and I found the socket (i.e. female part) broken and I managed to repair it using epoxy. Possibly heavy handed garage when the pads were changed. Whether the socket has now failed again or whether I have the common break in the cabling I'm unsure. At 16 years old it is probably the cable.
I've since realised than you can actually replace the plugs and socket casings though you need the tools to release the connectors within the plug and socket. And you can also get new crimp male and female connectors for inserting into the plugs and sockets. Something like this socket (i.e. female) complete with the crimps (probably not using the right terms!):

I have ordered three too. One for my silver TDI, one for my wife’s Storm and one to put away for when Peter decides to sell the “holy grail” back to me ????????????????????????????????I've ordered 3 but might only use two, I'm tempted to frame the other against some nice dark blue satin and hang it on the wall.
No, I'm not joking.
...got a quote from my trusted local garage of £1100 to replace Alison's Cambelt, Water Pump, Oil Pump and Balancer Shaft Chain, etc...
