Madness 😱 £168 for a main dealer to simply run a diagnostic test. Apprentice will plug in the machine, it’ll run through totally unaided and at the end a bloke will say this and that’s wrong. There’s no skill involved, just reading error codes.
Take it to a respected local garage. If you don’t know one, ask the neighbours.
My father in law rolled up today in his car with the EML light on, and panicking.
I ran it up the road to the local father and son garage that we use. He read the fault code, cleared it, and advised it's fine to drive.
The cost? Zero. Zilch. Nada.
That’s what we’ve been trying to tell OP who seems happy with keep throwing more money at a dealer than the cars probably worth. And I thought this was a Money Saving forum 😏 Oh well, their money
