I should be able to pick up the car today. It's about as expensive as I feared - they fixed a combination of things. The main being the fuel injection misfire, but also replacing the rear brakes and a couple other more minor issues.

This is the first serious maintenance we've had in a while. I'm afraid the car is approaching the point of needing it more often as we rack up the miles and years. (155k I think, and 15 years) We probably have to start thinking about a new vehicle for next year. I put on 9k miles over the last three years doing official exchequer travel...
