The mechanic was very polite and a nice guy but he didn't really perform any checks.
He opened the bonnet and straight away told me it's the manifold that's leaking without testing it.
It's not whistling or making a noise so why would it be.
He didn't check the lambda sensor or wiring which a garage originally diagnosed as being the problem.
He actually relied on Google for information which is something I could have done.
Basically nothing was resolved and I'm not going to risk changing something that might not be the problem and throw money away.
I have used click mechanic before with great success but the recent £57 for a diagnosis was a complete waste of money I'm sorry to say.
Reply from Daniel:
Evening,
I plugged my computer in and was bringing up the same fault code that you mentioned.
The fact that you have already had 2x lamda sensors fitted shows this could be a costly fix for you as this fault is a needle in a hay stack.
I was being helpfull by searching the net for similar faults. The part that i suggested you change would be the part I would change personally- if that doesn't work I would change the inlet manifold. It's a process of elimination.
Sorry you feel this way

Yes however Required 3 visits. I believe I probably paid £150 extra than I should have due to extra parts being needed.

Dan from Essex was very polite and phoned to let me know he was running a few minutes late to ensure it didn't cause me any problem. Only a routine battery replacement carried out where I work so there was no worry about being spot-on with the timing.
All done promptly and he ensured that I checked everything was working as it should before he left.
Would definitely use again and would recommend to others.
