Cheers Matt. I was aware it had fewer wires. Hopefully I can fix my original one. Which was full of water, and seal it up. If not I’ll just replace the lot.

One bonus is I’ve just found and pulled the two 30 amp fuses (above battery) so now the EPB is disabled. A rather wonderful side effect of this being the warning noise above 5mph is also disabled!!!
