the garage to be be fair so far seems to be trying their hardest to find the issue . Here is my worry . That was a week ago , what happens if the car will not start would the garage have insurance i could claim off . Or do I have a paperweight
They have had electrican's in spoke to the car manufacture and its still dead.

    At the moment they do not know ,they are taking it apart again to fault find . I guess there will come a time when a line will have to be drawn as the car is taking up a bay when enough , will be enough .I have no idea how these things work and do not want to be blinded by science so to speak , The car is 4 years old and has jut under 60 k and was fine until I took it in .

    What car is it?

    Could it be they havent got the timing marks lined up correctly or they have caught something simple when putting it back together?

    We had a Nissan years ago that wouldnt turn the imob light off and refuse to start. Traced it to a trapped wire. After a long time lol.

    Its just a case of waiting for the garage find the fault it will be fixable but sometimes with electrical faults it can take a while to find the source.
