Bit slack of VW - I would have expected clips on the underside of the floor or something. May be able to bolt some P clips onto existing gearbox bolts (e.g. top of side plates). > > I may even have one myself ... Oh well, didn't have it. > Just 2 wires sleeved together.

But I did find a nice shiny OE type Mexican VR which I had no idea I had so I've put that in the car instead of the new potted Brazilian one. I've gone through 2 2nd hand OE ones so far so I'll carry my new spare at all times :-) -- Matt. UK.
