Stuck spark plug
After a service at A4 Audi (Glagow's independent Audi specialist) it was reported that my number 5 plug is stuck. They had the car in last week to see if a long soak in WD40 might free it, but to no avail.
 Next step, they say, is to take the head off and send it to an engineering shop to get it removed. This is going to take days and cost in the region of £300 just to remove and refit the head, plus the engineer shop costs.  Is this a common problem and is there another approach that anyone has had any luck with?
