Thanks for the replies chaps.

The car is still at the garage, im a bit scared to pick it up after i shouted at the chap on the phone! hehe.

Once i get it back ill check it out, but to be fair if they've said the car has no oil in it cause of a leak, theyre unlikely to give me a car back full of oil - not suggesting they would deliberately damage it to prove a point....well actually, yes i am.

The bushes need doing as they are completely perished so i have to leave it with them tomorrow.

Im not in a position to do it myself im afraid cause when it comes to mechanical stuff, im pretty much retarded ( i work in IT ) and wouldnt know where to beging, hence this thread really, as it seems im being ripped off but have no idea how to tell.
