Would the DVLA tell us by sending them a simple email or is it a lot more complicated than that? Be interesting to see how many were made and how many are left

As far as I'm aware VOSA only applies to UK vehicles, so the 3497 would be the number of UK cars affected by the recall.

you aint wrong 3497 would be the total amount of gtis in the uk not sure if my pedal box has been done

have to pop down to vw tomorrow to check. but aint got no problems with the clutch.

Mine hasn't been done either, I don't think there's anything wrong with it though, what are the signs of a dodgy pedal box?
