Got my 6 back after giving up with the suspension issue and putting it in to the garage. So I'll be taking it for a wee blast (trying not to crash it) which will take it over 39k. Such a weird feeling not wanting to add miles but at the same time loving driving it! (Probably just me)

What was the issue in the end? I think it was the front driver's shocker. When they took the strut apart it had too much travel.
So replaced the front shocks, and a few other bits (the invoice is at work. I'll update the other thread when I get in to work on Monday).

Crikey thats a fair commute! what job are you looking at down this way? 
Herefordshire isnt bad at all to be honest! basically a county packed full of good ale / cider, motorsport and affordable living
