    Yeah, it’s a problem when travelling, they know your not coming back. I thought a large, high profile dealership would have been reasonable ‘protection’ as they would have a reputation to protect. Not so. In hindsight I think they were good at replacing parts on current models, but had no interest in ‘real’ mechanics.

    That is sound advice regarding the test kit. Do you have a link for the kit, please?
    TBH I’d not actually looked into buying one, but had seen them mentioned on the net. Googling turns up mainly overseas sources but the following are in Oz
