Quick update guys, thanks for all your input really appreciate the quick response on this forum.

So I've completely misheard what they said on the phone Haha stupid me, spoke to them again today as the car is still at craddocks, they said they had cleaned the egr valve out and ensured it's working correctly, however engine still misfiring on test run, plug in diagnosis was 3rd injector to they've took out and replaced with a new genuine one, took for test drive and still misfire, turns out its the injector loom, they said usually oil can get into the plug and ruin it, however the plug looks clean so it must be one of the pins either corroded or just broken, when the engines running if you wiggle the plug it makes the engine stutter and lose power, they are sourcing a new loom to fit and then that should be it hopefully.

Fingers crossed...

Their courtesy car was also already in use so public transport has been a right game! Fml...

As an aside to all the previous guff ... if you clean the darn thing regularly, (at least once a year), it'll be fine as will yer emmissions ...
 
Finally got her back after a long stay in the garage due to me not having time to get to cannock to pick her up because of work!

Craddocks were kind enough to replace the mud flap and headlight and sorted the alarm out for me too at no charge.

Anyone got any ideas how much a roof respray would be? I was thinking in the region of £300 based on work I've had done before on my cars.

Also anyone have any recommendations on wheel refurbishment companies? I want mine done in satin black, in the west Midlands area.

Cheers guys
