Mike you are right, would rather have a laugh with them and an open discussion as apposed to them being very guarded because you complain about everything they do.

We have LPG and go via the ferry every year to avoid any hassle. That said I have never seen anybody walking about to see if you have an LPG filler cap.

Clearly a garage to steer clear of in future. :roll:

I called them left a message, they called back within 30 minutes apologizing for the issue and offered up the reason why it may be running bad (they got it right) offered to take the van in as soon as I could get to them. The one thing they did ...

unless you have any evidence that your ATF has been been replaced in the laste two years and that the filter has had a good clean I'd highly recommend you put by 2-3 hours one weekend to do the job, it's straight forward enough and you may wele be surprised with the results...especially if ...

Again very helpful!
