I cancelled him under his advice as the car worked fine, he would not have found anything wrong at that point as it had no fault codes ect, been out again today and all seems fine, my wife insists its cos of old fuel bit i refuse to let her be right lol anyway it made it to mot today and past no advisors so thats a positive, next is to finish paint work and keep eye on engine
