Glad you have it sorted - not sure how you get to £150 tho' (?).
New (colour coded = upgrade for most  ) handle is £50 delivered and won't take any longer to fit than it does to clean the contacts on the original (?)

Mine will open by keeping the lock/unlock dash buttons pressed (big  to D3 members didnt know about that) only problem is you need someone to either open the tailgate or press the buttons. Anyway called dealer (Hatfields Liverpool) and have booked it in for repair. Best of all it is covered under warrenty
