    I think so. You can't sell it for a decent price since all the problems will be logged (right?) and anyone testing it is likely to notice it is wonky.

    I asked a direct question – are you refusing to see my car again, despite the car having the same problem as it went in for??

    Oh, of course not sir, we cannot do that, what is making you think that?.......

    Got another loan car sorted out for Wednesday.

    I am now seriously considering flogging it and getting something else……

    Looks like it will be week 5 in the garage…….

    Sell it for gods sake, and then buy a different car. Some mug will buy it. You did.
