Near side front tyre more wear than off side front ?

Took car in for it's MOT last week, now 7 years old. I've owned it since May 2006. It passed its MOT but the garage mentioned that 3 of my tyres had 4mm and one was just legal at 2mm.

Re: Headlight dynamic range fault.

Spoke to Audi Dealer, covered by Audi extended warranty. Waiting for a suitable date to book her in. Lights still "dance" so looking more like Dave's suggestion.

Headlight dynamic range fault.

Are these cars programmed to go wrong as they reach their 6th birthday ?
Replaced clutch switch 2 weeks ago.
HDRC fault symbol appeared yesterday. Any idea if covered by Audi extended warranty and if not, what repair cost would be ?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Re: Car hesitates in 1st and 2nd, input appreciated !

Bruce, when accelerating to change up the power feels like it drops off when i release the clutch before it picks up and goes. Repeats process from 2nd to 3rd. Could be interpreted as slipping i suppose.
Cheers scaghead and all posters, now confident its not a big job.
