Gareth,
Good news!!!!
Firsty, I took your advice and went the Araldite / bush route and so far it has held perfectly. Also I found a brand new part sourced from Germany by Prestige Motor Services (Audi specialist ) for £22 inc shipping.
This is their details in case any of you guys get stuck for parts:

Thanks for you help👍🏾
