Yeah at least the garage are getting onto it, I assume it had warranty? These things happen, I just forked out £3500 a few months back fitting a recon engine. I might get a horse and cart! Mind you then the sodding horse will need feeding, shoes , vets bills, mind you I could claw some cost back selling him to Tesco for beef lasagne !!

I think I was just over analytical because I suffered a recent engine failure, it wasn't related to oil though. I had an issue which I ignored on the DSG auto box which maxed the engine out down the motorway. But thanx again for your
