I can't be held accountable for what my wife buys me for Valentines! Especially as I'm not allowed Hotel Chocolat any more!

You are both right sadly! Removed from my watch list!
My post was ironic - it's hardly going to be time-saving if you have to replace the liner in order to not have to get behind the liner!??!
@Drive Wayne -
By my thoughts you have just saved £190.00 that can now be legitimately spent on something else Vw related.
You can thank me later...

Inspired to get on with it by @tommy_t6.1 
Temporarily fixed my handbrake after the lowering kit bracket sheared in half and left me without a functioning handbrake. I took it off the bracket and mounted it back on the original seat mount. I needed to use a clamp to deactivate the handbrake warning switch as it beeped at me - I couldn't see where/how to mount the switch and didn't have time to find out. It got us back from the Lake District so I'm happy with that. You can see the sheared lowering bracket in the picture - no idea how that broke?
I'll need to find out how/where the microswitch fits so if any of you geniuses on here can help me out I'd be very pleased. Thanks.
Edit: credit where it is due. I emailed Combe Valley Campers where I bought the bracket from notifying them that mine had broken and asked if they’d had any others do the same since it was no longer an item they stocked. Leigh, the owner, replied saying they’d had one other brake which they had offered to replace with one from another supplier free of charge. He offered the same to me offering me the unit that Just Kampers sell. If I supplied an address he’d have one shipped to me. Within the hour I had notification from DHL that they had my parcel and it would be delivered tomorrow. The reason he doesn’t see the bracket is that he couldn’t match the price others were offering them at. I’d say that was excellent service from a small business. Thanks Leigh

I found a view of the switch on the Combe Valley campers installation video. I'll see if I can refit it there tomorrow.
Thanks. I think the clip may be damaged. It might need some adapting.
You've gone further than I did! I didn't think to do the steps!!
Finally for some base in the van! Quickly rigged up my 20yr old sub/amp. Still works a treat!
Just need to figure out where it's going to live so I build a new enclosure!

Still time to do them, but if you can just do the doors and scuttle first to get me going on them that would be great.
Washed Helga today. Glass all clean, vacuumed and dash polished. No bits missed. Even cleaned the inside of the fuel cap door! 
Did you do the sliding door channel?! I remember being admonished by a certain someone at a camp because it was dusty and wasn't shining like new! No names VdM!!Washed Helga today. Glass all clean, vacuumed and dash polished. No bits missed. Even cleaned the inside of the fuel cap door!

Yep, sliding door channel too. Even lifted the bonnet which is rare on a Vw just to clean around the engine bay
Got to sort this though. Thought it was dirty sensors but still not working!! Acc unavailable grrrr
I had the same on my Passat. It was a broken bracket on the radar sensor (behind the VW badge on a Passat). Fixed with a bit of self-amalgamating tape. Fault then cleared itself after a couple of drives. Still working fine after several months!
Thought I'd try blue out for awhile, but was to shouty so painted my spare set in a acid green to be more stealth
