Did well to start at all with none working!

Sounds a good price to me. 

I was getting quotes of 200+ inc parts 5 years ago.

Interesting.  Same manufacturer, different model.  As you suggest, wiring is virtually the same apart from mine being missing a green.

The missing green on mine could be due to it having the long threaded studs for the mounting bracket and the green originally being a simple ring connector to one of the studs.  Likely to be left behind on removal.

If so I can see no need for a second earth going inside the case.  Which means I don't even know where the black goes either. 

Also note the jumpers for 2, 4 or 6 cylinders.

This thread suggests that it doesn't even need the blue connected:-

And this video suggests that the black is the signal feed and that there may be two separate circuits which would require a live feed (my blue?) to the internals.

Only way to confirm would be to look inside.  But as its a sealed unit and as I don't think I will be using it so I won't bother.

OBD port???  science fiction in 1998. 

There have been quite a few threads on this.

I remember Synergie and 806's  being mentioned but I am sure there were quite a few others.

Try the search with "single front seat"

There seems to be a lot of variation and incompatibility between the various ECU's, software, and hardware used.  Might be worth finding even an ordinary garage with different (more professional? equipment .
 
Top of the list from a quick search finds this one though who claim no call out fee and no fix, no charge!!! :-

That makes sense.  Allowing anyone who knew the code to remove it.  And should just plug right back if it doesn't work.  I just read though that this is only effective until the battery is removed or goes flat.  I may try this after doing a reset.

Have found this too:-

Turn on ignition (dont start engine)
Enter current code (red light goes green)
Press C button once
Enter in new 4 digit code
Press C button again once
New code is now entered and confirmed by 4 beeps
Start engine

NB - Original code retained in memory for 3 turns on of the ignition switch, if new code forgotten re-enter the old one.
After 3 ignition switch operations original code lost and no way back!!

Don't fancy this :-

Glad to hear it.

Better the devil you know.

I don't know about that engine in particular but I think the access problem is common to them all.

When I wanted mine replacing the biggest problem seemed to be concerns about seized plugs leading to stripped threads and knackered head. 

Three garages made half-hearted attempts or declining the job altogether. One garage replaced the 2 easily reached ones, said one was seized, and the last one inaccessible.

I eventually found a garage (a diesel specialist) that replaced all four in a couple of hours and had no problems.

Not sure what part but could it be a dust seal?

Not quite the "K" shape of yours:-

I aren't too bothered by a slope myself but my fridge is very fussy. 
Just an inch or so out back to front and it struggles.  Any further and it actually heats up!

edit... even more fussy is Ken.  Can be amusing watching the performance.  (but not so much in the early hours of the morning!)

If it's the same as earlier ones,. there is a catch at both ends.  Sounds like one side of yours is not unlatching.   Can't remember if the connection is cable or rod but it has probably broken or disconnected.

I remember a thread recently about.them, might be something there to help you get in.

Found it....from vaz:-

Is it the Navidrive system?

Does it offer Diagnostics?
