SORTED! :cartman:

Thanks to the guide Lee posted.

Basically, Vag-Com was reporting the cable on Com3 when it wasn't.
I forced the USB serial port to become Com1 - then tried (not in car) and Vag-com wasn't reporting finding the cable on any port. However, thanks the additional blue writing in the guide, I went and tried it in the car on Com1 and bingo. :cartman:

Now to get it re-registered with Ross-Rech.

Thanks everyone! :)
