Thanks for the info. I'll have a very careful look over the car - right now is not the time for a massive gamble as it's going to be the sole family car.
@Constable_Savage - good tip for the wiper, wouldn't have ever checked that.
Luckily the car is a manual so it has not of the auto and CVT issues.It's either the A4 avant or a new/demonstrator base model Pug 308 - the 3 cylinder turbo engine is a very nice little engine but over here the interior is basic black plastic which is a bit drab.

I've got a 1.8T quattro on 130000km, they sludge up if not properly maintained apparently, I've replaced a wheel bearing and the head gasket's showing early signs of going, and I can hear a whiring which I suspect is a quattro thing although it's not come up on the last two MOTS/services
