So from reading everyone advice it clearly has not been flushed/decreased enough. Ive just agreed to disagree with the garage and shall be bringing it back tomorrow to start doing it myself

I really appreciate the advice that everyone has given me and putting up with my ranting
That's good , I did say I had to flush one out probably 15 times to get it clean , and over time more oil will ooze out of the hoses if you have not replaced them, eventually after a couple of years when you have forgotten all about it , a hose will burst and all the coolant goes in about 2 seconds … seen it all before I am afraid ...
