Urgent help needed! Connectors behind dash/in footwells!

Right, almost finished putting everything back together with the heater matrix and having a bit of a headache with a couple of connectors!

 

First one is right above the clutch pedal. Cross checked it against Marc(AB10)'s car and his doesn't have this whatsoever?!

Next one is on the driver's side behind the instrument panel (slightly to the right). There is the big white connector which is now connected but also the small black one. The black one seems to be taped up and not free. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to put it either?!

Last one is down next to the ECU in the passenger footwell. I'm wondering if it is something to do with the FCD or SLD? As checking against Marc's car, the loom is different there due to them! Or is it possibly for ABS?

Keeping in mind that my car was originally an SZ non turbo so has no ABS, LSD, Cruise Control.

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

1) Never found out what this does, but it is not needed, mine (auto to manual conversion) does not have a loom for it, I've left it unplugged and have not noticed any problems. I always wondered if it was cruise related, but don't think any manual cars came with cruise. My clutch pedal from an NA 5spd had this socket, but neither of the TT auto dash looms had a plug for it.

 

2) The black plug isn't one I recognise, can you post a better pic of the connector?

 

3) This doesn't look entirely standard, where does the loom from it go to? Seems to be far to many wires to be an FCD or SLD, the only plugs that look slightly similar are the stereo ones...

1) I thought it might be something to do with cruise control as well to be honest. Can't think of any other reason for anything being attached to the clutch?!

 

2) From Jezz's guide:-

The black one on the left.

 

This is all on the driver's side btw.

 

3) I thought maybe an ABS related thing as Marc's car is an SZ-R and so has an ABS unit down next to the ECU so would have a connector sitting there when his conversion was done? With mine being an SZ and having no ABS, it may be just left disconnected as all TTs came with ABS didn't they? :)
