Perfect, thanks Alan. Now added to my supplier list and my phone contacts :-)

Evening all( well it is here anyway )
I've been fitting the rear doors new rubbers and all..
I tried he door without the catch and all was well , it closed with a firm push . So I fitted the catch plate , first try was too far in , second try was ok - it closed with a good push to an acceptable line .
I reached inside to push the handle down and it wont go far enough to pull the latch ...

LOL - Had two old fellas come into the workshop one day that had been trying to find something on their VW screen and somehow changed the language in their screen to something totally foreign that we couldn't read to change it back--out with the handbook and try and locate the required touch screen control to return to English--not a hope--ended up with another similar car and went through the men...

Surely there have been incidents where drivers have blamed being distracted while trying to access say, their windscreen wipers in some sub menu and then crashed?
Must be an ambulance chaser's dream case.

If using a mobile phone is dangerous, then surely it's bloody obvious that having to use a touch screen to control a cars functions, must be bloody dangerous too.

Agreed Dave, functions in menus can be a pain.
