Having reported that I managed to break the door mirror switch a couple of weeks ago (http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11010&highlight=mirror+switch), I have now replaced the switch with a new part and took some photos while doing so. I thought this might help others to consider doing this themselves if they should find themselves in a similar situation. Thanks to SARGE for his tips on this job.
I got the new Door Mirror Switch from Stoke Audi and the part number is A8E0 959 565 A4 PK A1B6 and costs £19.61 plus VAT before discount and P&P.
The door mirror switch is part of the windows/mirror switch assembly located in the driver's door armrest. Although the whole assembly clips into the armrest, I found it necessary to unclip this assembly from the inside. This means removing the whole door trim as already documented in this thread

Step 1 Remove the door trim - see photo 1. Prise the door speaker grill cover off with a thin blad to gain access to the first of the 3 screws that holds the door tirm to the door frame. You will need a torx screw driver - I used a T25 screw bit and followed the rest of the instructions in http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread...vers+door+trim to remove the door trim.
Step 2 Unclip the door lock cable from the trim - see photos 2a, 2b and 2c. This is a simple step and I simply pulled on the white plastic shroud to unclip the cable from the door trim.
Step 3 Unclip the door speaker from the trim - see photo 3. Take care not to damage the speaker or the surronding capactor.
Step 4 Unclip the wiring loom from the door - see photos 4a, 4b and 4c. The wiring loom is uncliped from the module by pushing on the purple level downwards. This level will prise the plug off the module. Now remove the door trim away from the door.
