Great news your Lairdship, we all love a happy ending!
I have the same trust in my garage as you do, they may not be experts but they go out of their way to do as I ask. For example, when I changed the front brakes for Brembo's and changed the suspension arms and hubs as required, they changed upper and lower arms, track rod ends, bearings etc as well as sorting out the wiring and charged me a grand total of £105 for labour, a quarter of the price of the new parts they fitted (obviously the suspension arms, callipers and discs were provided by me)
They know how much I like the car and care for it and they go out of their way to do a good job without emptying my pockets..........it's a good relationship to have.
