Ordered a switch at LLL parts.
Ordered a mirror at Audi Tradition who have significantly lightened my wallet.

I'll let you know how my LLL parts order goes.

308 EUR + Shipping of about 30 EUR. There was one on ebay from Latvia that was a bit cheaper, but I didn't feel it.

Do you need something from AT?

Are the PDC switches available anywhere?

Bought one from ebay that was a China copy - paid £40 and it got lost in the post after 2 months...

How about this:

Nice one!

Didn't see that, just ordered. So hopefully this turns up. £80 for a switch seems ridiculous but the interior NEEDS to be perfect...

Ordered the switch, all was good until today when the seller said he has to cancel the order due to the switches being damaged on the way to the post office. Apparently the courier had a car crash and they were all damaged...

Back to the drawing board!

Sounds implausible, but what can you do?

I know, I've had another search and all sites say they are unavailable.

I'll have to hope I get lucky on a second hand one. There's one on ebay for £108 - I'm not that desperate!

This one looks like it's in pretty good condition:
