The garage rang me to say it's sorted so I've been there to collect the car. They had identified that one of the oxygen sensors had failed. That's used to sense the level of oxygen in the exhaust and feeds back to the car ECU to control the fuel metering and timing. Iif it fails it causes problems. They test drove it this morning after having done the work yesterday and they didn't experience the chugging problem or engine warning light which they had test driving it yesterday morning. I think there are 2 of those sensors,
No problems driving back and I did a few miles and refilled with petrol on the way. I won't be able to know that the problem has been sorted until I start driving the car where the engine is cold.
I hope you car is finally sorted now El
