Well yes unfortunately if you are still stuck in Park! Have a Google, I'm not an owner, but I recall reading / seeing about it on air Audis.

no longer stuck in P, although it didn't make a good noise when I did get it into gear. the sort of clunk that makes you go 'ooooo'.

I have never felt the need to fit winter tyres in the UK. Winter tyres limit handling and speed. Not for me :thumbsdown:
