Well that is kind of what I thought when I phoned Doves Horsham initially and was told their labour charge!! So I booked into an Indie but they couldn't solve the problem even though I was telling them what it might be as I'd read it on here! They were adamant I was wrong. So I took it out of there and booked into Doves and from now on, for an major diagnostic problems, I would start there. In my experience they solved my many problems and within 24 hours when an Indie had car for 4 whole days and didn't get anywhere, not even a correct diagnosis when I was telling them what was later proved to be correct!

Their master technician there is obviously very good - he's the one who dealt with the car. But agree when I was trying to order some Parts/accessories at another time, they were very vague...
