Honest dealer? John Darke? Well, each to there own but they are the very dealer at the heart of my thread in general discussion "Service History - what's it worth"
They told the previous owner of my car that his ETM was failing and he was better off trading his car in. Turns out to be the PCV was totally blocked forcing the oil through the ETM via the air intake. No matter how often it was cleaned the problem would return. One PCV change later and the car is fine!
The service sheets are full of things that are supposed to have been done and haven't, because they can't be easily seen. I know you taken it by now but you'd have been better off looking at it yourself, and seeing if it was full of oil residue.
