They might end up putting it on the dolly/A-frame.
Front wheels lifted and fixed to a frame with the rear wheels dragging. Surly this will pop a diff of two? They need to flat bed it. I would not trust it over one mile traveling at point of mile and hour.

Just to keep this up to date, the AA recovered the car on a flatbed and the car was taken to Poole Audi on Thursday. Poole Audi kept me up to date throughout, they even called me to acknowledge they had the car.
Collected the car Friday PM, and its back to its good self having had all the ignition coils replaced. Hate to imagine how much 8 new coils would cost if I were paying. I've driven it 150 miles since then and its running better than ever, so maybe its been acting up for a while.

Today I finally got around to sorting the sunroof lubrication properly. I'd been opening the sunroof a lot lately, and the groaning sound when closing had been getting worse. Last week it decided it was not going to close as it thought something was blocking the mechanism.
Got myself some white lithium grease, and after liberal application the roof is working perfectly again, and its completely silent when operating. I did notice some signs of wear, along the very outer runner but thats not hindering the operation of the roof.

Well done Manny
As mentioned few months earlier, bit by bit and you will get there and I'm pretty sure you are way much happier driver now. I think I have to do the same for my side mirrors as they rather noisy when folding, I'm just afraid of breaking the mirror glass in order to get to the mechanism.

After operating quiet a few times without a problem the sunroof is back to square one. Driving round Norfolk one day last week, parked up in Cromer and went to close the sunroof. Started closing fine, got to within an inch of closing and it decided to open again. Spent the next 10mins trying, even using the override option it would not close and just opened. I ended up turning the dial in stages with a pause at each stop, eventually got it closed.
Roof tilts up and down just fine, it opens without issue, its just closing thats proving to be an issue. If the weather is fine at the weekend I'll brave opening it again, giving all the runners another clean, clean the seals and wax around the sunroof opening before applying the lithium grease again. Moving on to the outstanding jobs, I'll get the first few sorted at the same whilst those in the second part are low priority to me still as the car drives fine. Replace NSR wheel bearing as its whining, no play in bearing its just noisy. Fix broken headlight washers, suspect split pipework Get brakes looked at, it might be me but think the front brake discs maybe warped due to pulsating sensation with light braking. Low priority: Fix seized intake manifold flaps and linkages Fix clicking MMI screen. Also, swap lower centre front grill for an ACC one. Got the grill from Guy (daviesbike, thanks Guy), all cleaned up now and ready to fit. I just need to workout how to release the clips without removing the bumper. It looks doable with a couple of sets of mole grips through the slats. Hopefully then its just a case of running the basic settings on the ACC controller to force it to relearn. It currently reports misadjusted because it has been trying to peer through the wrong grill for who knows how long, hopefully the radar is ok and does not need calibrating. I found a guide which explains how to run the basic settings only on VAS, hopefully its also possible with VCDS. The misadjustment error cannot be cleared without forcing the basic settings.

The brake discs wobble could be something as simple as a front track rod end or suspension joint having some very slight play Manny. Worth checking the discs with a gauge on the car to see and if they are not much out or not out then could well be that instead
