Played offline before going online - Now can't unlock 'First Time' achievements?

Hey guys, so I’m after some help with how to fix this…

My internet was down for a few days while I first started playing Forza Horizon 2. In that time, I made it to the Horizon Festival, Castelletto, Nice, Sisteron, Montellino, Saint-Martin and San Giovanni etc, the list goes on. No achievements unlocked for me while playing it offline. Like, none at all. So… now that I’m online, I still have all my progress, but obviously I have been to these places before, so I cannot trigger the achievements. I cannot visit these places for the “first time” and I don’t want to erase my saved data and start again, because I’m sitting on 400k credits and quite a few roads found.

This is really frustrating for me. Because while gaming isn’t all about the achievements, I really want to 100% this game and it’s going to be impossible if I can’t unlock these. And they’re the simplest bloody ones… so you can imagine my frustration.

As you missed them first time round.
A restart would be your only alternative I would think. Sorry to say

NO

The achievements will most likely ninja unlock in next few days without any further action.

Give it a few days; XBL is acting up badly and might not be able to verify your progress at all.

Today FH2 crashed on me so I restarted the game and I was presented with the initial movie again. I immediately removed the powercord to avoid “corruption” of my save-game between local and cloud. Restarted the console later and fortunately all my progress was still there.
