Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion · Original poster
Firstly, would there be any issue in using such parts on a UK-spec car (I'm actually thinking about getting the complete harness rather than just the switch)?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hopefully a quick question (or two questions!)... I've had the problem with my rear spoiler traced back to a faulty microswitch. Having had a look around, I can find them for sale but, for some reason, only in the US. Firstly, would there be any issue in using such parts on a UK-spec car (I'm actually thinking about getting the complete harness rather than just the switch)? Secondly, is there anywhere in the UK I could source this from, rather than getting it shipped from the US? Any advice gratefully received!
