    Ive used a company called "Car and bike magic" a couple of times in the past, they are superb however pretty expensive. I found them thru Nissan where i work, they send all their NEVOS employee rental cars to them for repairs. link; http://www.smart-repair-tips.com/SMART-Network.php?nav=FIN#NEE good luck

    Guys, Just changed my standard Beru VW ht leads to Magnecor...... i had 5 VW black and one VW red ht lead removed and noted the codes written on them.....(if still current that is!), both stamped with the VW/AUDI logo..... to anyone who is interested ; red: 030035 255A and/or 030017 4102 black: 021035 255E Not 100% sure if 2nd part number for red is a Beru or VW number tho.... happy hunting for those after red beru ones as quite hard or expensive to source...... or indeed try Ford and quote for a post 1995 Galaxy v6 if none at VW, the galaxy engine was exactly same as ours.

This can alledgedly, be stripped and cleane

    I had same problem.......drivers side not working but passenger side ok. Check fuse 1st, its same fuse that controls elec mirrors , reverse lights & air con. Switch next..., u shud be able to hear a relay click from door as u toggle the switch, if yes then u obv have power to switch and relay, if not swap passenger door switch and link up to see if switch is prob. As mentioned above u can pull rubber door grommet out to inspect wire condition as prone to splitting and thus earthing/shorting. I did all of above without sucess until i removed door skin (1/2 hr job with Haynes manual), unplug
