Dear me. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Suffice to say there would have been an emotional outburst containing bouts of profanity had I suffered a similar fate.

Surely the RAC could have jumped it and let you buy your own battery? Norman Tebbit would have got you on a bike. Red and Blue Army!

Depends on your intentions for the car. If you want to sell it in future and keep its book price value then FSH full service history is good to have, especially a premium car serviced at the dealership. Otherwise I’d find a mechanic who works from home with knowledge of a whole garage of rip off merchants to the power of 10. COYP
