Just a small update. Went through the MOT today, failed on the windscreen washer pump which I've now changed. Mechanic said there was no play in any of the wheel bearings so obviously like we thought, the garage is trying to get out of fixing my sisters car. Will name and shame now as I know...

That's great, thanks.
