You're a right proper Englishmen aren't you. I enjoyed reading your post, I could hear the accent with every word. I spent a lot of time with some guys from England in both Desert Storm and this latest jaunt in the desert - great guys!

I think service agents have lost basic auto mechanic skills.
Unless the diagnostics tell's them the fault code and prints out the correct fix they won't touch it.
What happend to the days when a mechnic built up knowledge and experience and 'just knew' what was wrong with a car. I guess in fairness cars are more complex than ever and do show up strange faults.
