Feel for you mate, does not give much confidence in the car or the dealers. I know when I have done some work on car I feel uneasy to do a long journey straight after in fear that I might have missed something even if I am always double checking and paying special attention to anything safety related.

It has happened before, did not secure radiator hose properly on Freelander after head gasket replacement and it popped off with a cloud of steam just as wife pulled in work car park 5 miles from home. Not a biggie, went over with the other car, found the issue and was fixed 10 minutes later but if it had happened 100 miles from home it would have been major inconvenience.

I would not be confident taking car to France knowing that dealer might have rushed things to get it done on time. Not before having it driven for at least couple of days locally. The way they handled it does not give much confidence as well.
