    No worries. I will send that stuff over when I get back about the 18th. If you are running Windows 7 you will need to download the WinXP emulator (free from microsoft) first. The car will be nice once you get it fixed up. Ross

    Xenon headlight arm, snapped clean off :(.

    by the sounds of it you are referring to the level sensor and its linkage to the lower suspension arm? if so sounds like you need a new sensor and linkage mate. sensor iirc is about £80 from audi and the linkage is about £15 also audi.
