Hi Rory, I have also struggled as you did, instead of newspaper sheets I have used the silicone coated backing paper of the sound insulation padding. Works like a treat!

Re: Correct position of Aerial
Philippe, indeed on a LHD car it would be on the passenger side. This is the case on my S1, and I had scoured hundreds of pics to decide whether to fill-in the hole or keep. Decided to keep it, as the hole was quite well done and I was worried the fill-in job might be troublesome. As for an electric...

Re: Weird electrical issue
Danny, at first bridge the 2 wires on the hydraulic switch. If you get battery voltage and the new stop light goes on, then you have only a defective switch. If it does not, then you have to start investigating all the line bullets. Are you with positive or negative ground ? As this reverse light is...

If i may, couple of hints : check that the wipac set you have is well for lhd and not rhd car, otherwise you will have an issue adjusting for controle technique.
