Any advice would be appreciated, my Panda 1.2 2008 engine management light came on last week, shortly after developed a misfire on acceleration, managed to get home and my neighbour suggested I take it for a blast down the motorway incase the cat was clogged.
Started to jerk but when it was warmed up ran good at 70 mph. Booked it into the garage and diagnostic came back o2 sensor, again I was advised to give it a good run to no avail. Next day light was back on, checked my plugs, checked the gap, took it back to garage they kept it 3 days and called to say it was fixed.
Charged me for a coil pack and set of ht leads. Drove a mile engine light came back on.
Thing I cant understand is my neighbour is a mechanic and the the garage said the same thing to drive it hard, but why if the diagnostic is showing o2 sensor have neither of them said to change it?
Cars done 84k regular service and timing belt/water pump done in may.
Seems strange that they reluctant to go with what the diagnostic reading said?
