Not hard to understand why not happy, was this at a garage or a back yarder!

MTA member! Sounds like a job for a polite but firm letter outlining the error of their ways and requesting a refund for the unnecessary work due to sub standard diagnosis techniques. Quote some consumer guarantees act in there for good measure. Keep it objective. Complain to the MTA if they are a member and follow up with the disputes tribunal if they don't refund.

The person who did the job would probably not be a Trade certifiedtechnician/engineer & certainly not a mechanics A hole!A lesson to be learnt next time after the vehicle is sorted out , Always check out the BOZO's in the workshop first.before booking in!
