Hi all

Fairly recently on here, people were saying how it should be fairly easy to wire in and retro-fit the tyre pressure / flat tyre warning indicator onto the 'Roc if not specced from factory.

This might help - found the switch on an American website, you can also order the wiring loom with it. £14.82 GBP for switch, £31.76 GBP for wiring loop. No guarantee this switch would fit the 'Roc as I think it may be too square (??), as it is listed under the Mk.5 Golf area of the site.

It is a great site for all things VW OEM... http://www.oempl.us You can change the currency to GBP on their homepage.

I presume they ship to the UK, not checked.

Of course, thinking about it, it may be easier and cheaper to source the parts from a UK VW dealer (if available yet)...

Also found this.... Available in different colours, but not to match the 'Roc by the looks of things.

Piano Black may be an (expensive!) option though if people missed out on speccing the Smoker's Pack:

And this has been mentioned on this forum before I think...

Wow, postage to UK for a single badge (the weight of a feather!) is £24.53 GBP!

If people want stuff, I think a combined forum order would be the way forward.
