I dropped the car off at the garage yesterday morning - they said that they'd check it out and, if they could fit the job in, try and have it completed in time for the weekend. I received a phone call to say that it needed four new glow plugs and a replacement EGR valve; they hoped to get the bits in for today and get on with the job. The garage is known for its high standard of work and reasonable charges so I was slightly taken aback by the estimated cost of £360. I understand that an EGR valve can cost approaching £100. Ah well, other than that, the car has been very cheap to to run over the past 4 years!
