Hi OPhamski said:Just come back from exhaust check ,
guy at garage asked me what I’ve brought it in for cause there’s nowt wrong with it.
So last years advisory followed by an offer to “fix” it for £250 was basically an attempted con.
I'm glad you took it to halfords and as I've always said and on this thread as well they are not all bad and it is often down to the person dealing with your car
Good news all round and thanks for shairing
