@Dammit thanks, they don’t seem open to a settlement
Having look into the garage a bit more I am leaning towards the arsehole theory especially following their claim they needed to
‘drive the car at high revs up the sidcup bypass to complete the carbon cleaning process’. My arse!Still the fuzz have been rather helpful on next steps. Told to put a settlement offer in writing and if they don’t respond the fuzz will pick it up from there

Did they know they would have it for a week? Could be a very small garage and they have no where to store a car for any period of time (even overnight some struggle to cram everything back inside), so they've 'used' to keep it away from the garage (because no storage).
Or maybe they are just arseholes.
Got one of mine back from MOT this week, first one through the new system, no advisories or anything. Three of the guys there came over to say 'man thats so clean underneath, you spend a lot on it?'. (its my misses bluemotion polo commuting car, but just had new everything following snapped spring and subsequant 'well all these bolts are rusty, i'll replace everything').
They and the alignment spot were suitably impressed with my liberal coatings of anti-seize on every bolt I'd had apart (new tensile bolts everywhere). "hardly anyone does that anymore, makes like so much easier in x years time!"
