You've done the right thing, but it should be unnecessary for the faults you've already raised. Which is very much the wrong thing for the service mangler (sic) to have done. If you haven't already done so, ask him to put this request in writing, so that you can produce it in court if required.

Read the warranty documents properly.

Prove that. And indeed prove that you weren't doing mostly M8 miles from the South end of the Kamikaze through Charing Cross to Townhead Interchange at rush hour.

As is free-wheeling in automatics.

@Crasher OK, now tell me where in 8.2.1.2(h) the text says "Emission Control System light". The EML is something different.

Which is completely specious. I've just read through Section 8.2.1 of the current MOT tester's manual, and there is no mention of the Emission Control System light. As such it can not be an MOT failure.

Well, it's more non-linearity in the gauge than inaccuracy as such. If your model has a trip mileage readout, I suggest filling the tank, zeroing the trip and then leaving it until the next fill, at which point you note the actual mileage achieved and re-zero the trip.

A Kodiac (any spec) and a driver who kerbs wheels/tyres regularly is a dangerous combination IMO.

By itself it's not a diagnosis, but it does suggest worn injector(s).

Forget Water Dispersant 40; use PlusGas or GT85 instead.

RTFM! I'm fairly sure it's either a speed limiter or cruise control, but not which.

also @AnnoyingPentium I'd say offside front 3/4 view.

Not sure how you can tell if an SDi is misfiring! I'd agree about the overfuelling, so am going to ask what sort of mileage it's done? This will be confirmatory when we get to a stage when we can do a diagnosis.

Sensor for sure.

I'd not be surprised; you need to reset the idle stop, idle mixture and main mixture after a rebuild.

My sympathies; been there, done that due to an infected dialysis line.

Not necessarily; if you have, say, a Windoze PC with a Mac(Intosh) emulator installed and running...

I read the grille badge as "IGUANA"!

Yes; pulsating or flashing any Quartz-Halogen, or even tungsten vapour, bulb regularly will reduce its lifespan.

OK. There is no such thing as a "gas filled damper" in terms of working fluid. What there actually are are "gas pressurised dampers" where you get a sealed volume of pressurised gas above the damper oil that is the working fluid. This design gives increased resistance to aeration of the oil working fluid, and hence to damper fade.

Hint in the use case I think; you're effectively pulsating these bulbs on and off whenever you turn a corner with the headlights on.

Ok, it's not what I was thinking then. It'a a cheap and easy DIY test though.

Search for garages that use Hunter alignment kit.

An "advisory" is exactly that; one mechanic's opinion that $component is showing wear but does not warrant a failure.
