It's not the starter motor Rob. That much I am sure of so don't waste any money buying new parts until you have a confident diagnosis. If the battery is in good shape, and I am not convinced it is, you need an electronic diagnosis.

Radio and GPS aerials used to be entirely separate items on different cables, but maybe technology has moved on since then. Is it a shark fin aerial on the roof? I have read they can become loose.

You will be very lucky to find a lens of any brand. Have you tried online car breakers?

I would not trust any work done by the clowns at Halfords which is why I suggested a professional test, but if you choose to believe them the next step is to take the car to a garage, either Audi main dealer or specialist independent, and have it diagnosed on a code reader.

If radio is the only fault my first suspect would be the aerial connection.

Please let us know the outcome.

A dying battery is a common cause of stop/start failure, so get the battery professionally tested. If a new battery is needed ensure it is coded to the car.

Congratulations.

The greater the offset, the more the rim is moved away from the hub, so you need more offset to clear the leg.

Tyres that rub on the suspension leg will certainly cause problems, to put it mildly. While spacers might solve the problem they are bodge. You would do better to buy wheels with a greater offset.

Was the above response helpful to you Suheel? I know you have seen it and the responses to your other question.

Fair enough as long as it was coded.

I had the same last week with my car at a main dealer. I was told the battery was due to be changed, yet it is only five months old and perfectly good. I was told two tyres needed to be changed, yet a local tyre shop that I know to be sound said they were more than legal and refused to sell me new tyres. Warnings of significant wear are all well and good, but to pervert those advance warnings to a need for immediate action is deception, to put it mildly, but typical of main dealers.

Code readers may point in the right direction, but they should not be taken literally. Interpretation based on experience is always needed. How old is the battery? A defective battery can cause unrelated codes and error messages.

I bet it took longer to wash the car than it did to fix the MMI.
