It only rains about 2 months of the year on average, so thats not the problem. What happens to the boot is that the jet spray for the rear window leaks onto the switch causing it to caput.
It is much nicer in Spain than England or Denmark, im Danish but have lived in Spain my whole life. Tried living in England, didnt go down well, not my cup of tea-sorry!
Jobs? If you mean on the Golf yes I do I need the bloody boot light to work, I want cruise control, new style cupholders, touran cigarette lighter torch, the seats cleaned and a few more things.
Its a lot easier to get a job down here than most people think, you just have to know how to find them (local newspaper-not too hard is it).
My family own a pool maintenance company if youre interested in that?
