Please can I have some garage advice?
Mid December I dropped my car into a garage for an engine diagnostic as I had an engine warning light. £50. Was either the cam sensor or the glow plugs iirc

He couldn't do any more work that day so booked it in for yesterday.

£250 for a new sensor, decided against as the car isn't worth much.

£190 for new glow plugs. I said yes.

Get a call today saying the broken glow plug has snapped and it'll be +£150 on top of the £190 as they need an engineering firm to come out.

There was no warning that this might happen and that work needs doing, as the car won't currently start ..

I could potentially get behind splitting the extra £150 but not sure why I should be paying all of it given the lack of warning

Cheers

There is always a risk of glow plugs breaking when being removed and perhaps they should have warned you of the risk.
Not sure if they will split the cost because the £150 is what the guy is going to charge to come out and remove the snapped one.
Only my opinion

I paid it but they said they'd scan the car in 6 months FOC as the engine warning light might come straight back on with the sensor not working
