I was thinking the same thing, and was going to quote the same. Depends on how you read and interpret it. Car played up, and caused the owner to pop the bonnet and investigate, then finding that things weren't done at service time.

The lack of a service perhaps didn't cause the issue, but was found by accident while trying to find why car was playing up.

I'm with you buddy. How dare a customer complain about paying premium price for a scheduled service and have them expect that the oil and filter be changed! The audacity! It's reprehensible, I tell you.

The thread has turned and the issue has been rectified. Everyone knows .... as per 1000 odd other threads..... some Dealers are good (I use those) .... some Dealers are bad (I don't use those)

Congrats that the issue ended up being a simple fix and hope you can find one of the good ones
