Most the switches on the Mk3 are crude at best - very susceptical to corrosion and just crap basically. Most problems are easily repaired tho. My wiper stalk doesn't work properly at the moment.

Yeah - but the indicator stalk is what you use to change between main and dipped - and you say main is fine - so I'm guessing that's where the problem is.

I'm still using it - the version I've got comes with a native handwriting feature - which seems to have been excluded from more recent editions.

I still have the setup file if anyone wants it??

You can switch off nudges too - as I have - so annoying!! :roll:

On the Mk3 the towing eye screws into either front or back behind removal panels in the bumpers.

That's pretty weak - the quoted figure is 96!!

Even for a 1-litre it's 90.

Sounds a tad extreme to me considering i'm running 185's on 6.5 inch rims!! :?

I'm not sure of the facts - but I know if you stretch them too wide it's bloody dangerous - so perhaps best suited to a show car!!
