Thank you all again for your camaraderie but that was a waste of time!
Mobile mechanic with VCDS cancelled me at last minute, offered to come Thursday. Told him to get lost, mainly as I still have it booked in for Wednesday at a localish garage for a scan. Can't get anyone to do it sooner and I am away to Sussex lunchtime tomorrow anyway. Two more days of agony!
Silly question, obviously I can get the car recovered to the garage (about 8 miles away) and wait forever while they sort out the million holiday makers we now have here with endless broken down family wagons or would it be okay to drive the 8 miles in limp mode? Does this make it more broken?!
Meanwhile I am getting the bus, in this heat, with all the holiday maker smells nature can muster. Not a happy bunny and off to scan latest leasing deals!
