Turns out I got fobbed off at the dealership last time, my 10 plate is still covered under warranty after a call to  vw uk hq
 The haldex pump is showing a fault and they are going to replace in the morning.

 Does anybody know the price of one of these pumps? Be interesting to know what that would of cost me

Faulty Haldex Pumps seems to be a common problem with the R  :sad:

There's been a few similar stories on the R forum :-

Good to hear you're still under warranty
