Hi all,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help. Recently had an issue with a large crackling sound under the car's bonnet (no issues picked up on the dashboard), called the breakdown service who weren't able to confirm anything as by the time they'd arrived the sound had gone. They suspected a 'sticky thermometer' and that I should take the car in to a local known garage who are specialists in jag/Land Rover cars (as there had been another issue I had to sort out anyway).
Ive dropped the car off with them and later received a call to say car is in good nick but they weren't able to replicate the sound and they needed to do more testing which requires the director taking the car home (which is apparently a fair distance) in an attempt to replicate the same issue and it will cost £160 for the road test with no extra charge if they aren't able to sort the problem out then and there (I understand the principal but not the method). This is my first jag bought last year, so I haven't (nor have my family) had any experience with costs etc. I was hoping if someone could shed a bit more light as to whether this seems legitimate. I guess I want to make sure I'm not being ripped off in any way.
Thanks in advance.
