Well yesterday it seemed to be behaving reasonably well over a couple of hundred miles, just the odd "twitch".
So today I though, time to get VCDS (running on W7) connected.
Except, for some reason it won't read any controllers. 
(possibly a flaky USB lead bought cheaply on eBay?)
So I dug out my ancient Windows ME laptop with VAG-COM on it and an old serial lead bought from RossTech and ran a mains lead out to the car to power it, then looked at the transmission, finding:
17087 Brake Switch B Circuit Malfunction
P0703 - 35-00 - -
I've cleared it to see if it returns. Any thoughts anyone as to what that is and where?
(As for the suspect lead I'll look for a USB-Serial converter then see if the original serial lead will work via that)
