V6 Chugging, rev fluctuation and smoke

[tom_w21]

Update:

Have just been to see her at the Garage, fired it up determined to get it to AVA in Surrey, it now seems to be misfiring on more than one cylinder and sounds rather more like a 2 stroke than a V6!

Spoke to the owner who looked rather worried, and is going to get a detailed breakdown of exactly what has been done to it since it was dropped of and running like a new 2 days ago. At least he seemed to be excepting of the fact that it's their mess to sort out as it stands. Pretty hard for them to dispute that they have done something to it now, although he kept refering to it's emissions fail as if it was some sort of root cause/tell tail sign it was already in trouble when I took it in.

Feeling rather sick at the moment at the thought of something I have spent many thousands on currently sitting idle in a garage. I don't really have the confidence in the garage who are working on it, and can't get it to a garage who I would feel more confident in.

The fact it has got worse today, worries me.

She is now back up and running like new! Turns out the new plugs they put in when servicing it were duff and one had a hairline crack in it.

Now the Garage just need to fix the sills that they managed to damage while putting in on a ramp! Can't believe they managed to do this to it on top of the other problems! Needless to say it will be the last time I ever take it there!

Thanks for all the advice people posted, really apreciated.
