I use the Hawkeye hand held diagnostic, not cheap at £300, but it does talk to the different ecu's and allow you to reset the fault codes.

Thanks Andy, I got a local garage to reset the diagnostics and it came back with just the airbag and passenger door double locking.

So it was the flywheel, the cambelt, some wiring under the seats for the airbag light and the passenger door not unlocking.

Yep I'm going to challenge it, especially since the service place are doing it half price (warranty rates) so it'll cost them half what it would have cost if I'd gone to a VAT registered garage and got it done without them checking the vehicle.

True but the 20" wheels are not specified for the Fr2, so technically a modification. I hope they don't get away with it, but by the letter of the small print... Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

I'm with Andy on this one, the Evoque wheels fitted will still give you the same overall rolling diameter, so the overall size hasn't changed. |

Thanks guys, I'm going to push them for the technical data especially the quote 'different wheels creates additional strain on the flywheel'. If that's just someone saying that to pass over the job, or actually true based on something I don't know then more information would be good.
