So it’s over to Jaguar now Monday Tuesday, it also seems to me the first time they looked was half hearted for them to re attempt.

Also is there a chance once the injector is swapped that there could be another issue ie head gasket, supercharger or would that show up on the original diagnosis I just want an end to it now and my car back 😞
Sorry, but I disagree is so far as they have advised you it’s stuck and needs a specialist. If they have a second go and it snaps then it’s on you. If you don’t want the risk then it’s on you to take it elsewhere and settle up for work to date. You may be able to argue part reduction of labour and fluids if they don’t complete, but not half the bill.
I think before a spanner touches it again you should get exact details agreed of responsibility, cost allocation, by step, etc.
If not then trailer to a specialist do do, but that’s inconvenient and takes time.

£1300 quoted for diagnosis (£190) re attach coolant pipe, replenish fluids, remove and replace injector.

Now they estimate £500 for more labour Monday to try and remove the seized injector

I’m wondering how much it would be to get them all done by a specialist not by the dealer or is it rare they all start to go
