Hi Tom Thanks for posting your informative write up on your experiences with an imported car, interesting read and quite a lot of information I wasn't previously aware of.

I would be tempted to try eBay and put a starting price of whatever you think is reasonable. If it doesn't exceed the starting price then it won't sell and nothing lost but at least you'll know what its worth then and can reduce the price next time round or leave open to offers. Alternatively, we buy any car and increase their valuation by 25% or so for a more realistic valuation

I wonder if it is a bumper protector for when you are loading things into the boot and avoids scratching the paint?

4x4 direct are a very good supplier of sidesteps....have used the company before and reasonable prices. Fitting - now that is another ballgame, not the easiest to fit so would entrust a garage to do this

The usual fault is that the battery is not strong enough that when the engine is starting the voltage drops too low and flags a fault for the Electric Power Steering (EPS) and takes the steering offline.

I have just been to see a 2014 sharan I’m wanting to purchase but oddly the heating only seemed to warm up on the drivers side, was so odd, and the ones in the back above doors were also not getting warm? Anyone know what this could be and if it’s expensive to fix? Many thanks

Auxiliary heater I’m not to fussed about it’s just the airbag faults I’m concerned about at the minute don’t have vcds to investigate further just using the ad20 pro. The code it’s giving me is saying the connection under the passenger seat but everything looks to be ok under there so not too sure

Difficult one to source the water getting in. A smoke generator is your best bet and if you want to save money then buy one as useful to have for a variety of uses.
