Please help me identify this locking nut 🙏
I'd recommend you speak to a local company that can remove locking wheel nuts as they look pretty knackered.

A3 noisy gearbox?
Could be a sticking caliper piston. One way to tell if you have a sticking piston that keeps the brake pads rubbing on the disc is when youve parked up after a drive see if you can feel excess heat coming from any brake disc more than the others

A3 Convertible rear window smashed! (2015 model)
Have you tried eBay for a second hand window or roof? The window is only bonded and stitched in place. Have you spoken to your insurance company regarding window replacement?

I'd suspect the antenna personally. But an update to software is no bad thing.

US route 50
Thought I'd share this as a road trip option for your thinking of a road trip in the US. Route 50 🚗 The Loneliest Road in America!🇺🇸 It’s the perfect road for an epic cross-country adventure, combining scenic beauty, history, and a touch of mystery! Here are some interesting facts: 1. Crosses the Entire U.S.: Route 50 stretches more than 3,000 miles from Ocean City, Maryland on the East Coast to Sacramento, California on the West. It’s one of the few highways that gives you a true coast-to-coast experience. 2. “Loneliest Road in America”: The highway earned this title in 1986 when Life Magazine dubbed the stretch through Nevada as such due to its remote, desolate landscapes. Ironically, it became a huge draw for adventure-seekers! 3. Historic Roots: Route 50 follows parts of The Lincoln Highway, America’s first transcontinental road, which was established in 1913. So, you’re literally driving along a piece of history. 4. Diverse Landscapes: Traveling Route 50 takes you through everything from bustling cities like Washington, D.C. and St. Louis, to the endless deserts of Nevada, to the majestic Rocky Mountains in Colorado. 5. Ghost Towns Galore: Especially in Nevada, you’ll pass by several ghost towns, remnants of the Old West’s mining boom, like Austin and Eureka, where time seems to stand still. 6. Highest Point: Route 50 crosses the Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado, which is one of the highest points on the U.S. highway system at over 11,000 feet above sea level. 7. Mark Twain’s Inspiration: Nevada’s section of Route 50 runs through Virginia City, where Mark Twain began his career as a writer. You can visit his former haunts along the way. 8. Oceans & Mountains: Start your trip at the Atlantic Ocean in Maryland and, if you’re up for it, end near the Pacific Ocean in California—seeing everything in between.

eBay would be a good place to start but they won't be cheap. Alternatively you could get your silver ones wrapped

You're welcome. I do admit the new Santa fe is a lovely looking vehicle both inside and out. Reminds me more like the old defender than the current defender!

S6 Air Suspension Drop
The car itself has detected a leak so if definitely say it's the bag. If non were working then that'd be more likely the compressor but thankfully not in this case.

Electric Cars
This is where them problem has risen in my opinion, from the dawn of the car there has been both petrol and electric vehicles, then diesel vehicles and odd hydrogen ones too. They all have their place and suit the users differently. The government trying to switch all users to one form of vehicle power use (electric) and this is the problem. Because telling someone like me who couldn't have an electric car due to practicality causes resistance and frustration.

S6 Air Suspension Drop
Shouldn't be dropping to the floor. It needs a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up but does sound like a leaking suspension airbag.
