Got the 156 back this evening. The bill will be presented to us on
Thursday - all we know is that it needed a new cat. and the fuse pulling
from the aircon to get a stable fast idle.
Had it serviced at the same time.
I reckon all-in, about 200 quid. incl. the new cat.

The old one is being sent back for testing with a view to a refund as it
was still under warranty.
