There is nothing in anyway related to cruise control they could have disturbed. Track rod end does not need the bonnet popped!

"workshop light" do you mean car with spanner through it?

If this was not on when you took it in, take it back and ask them what the FF have you done? Get them to fix it at their cost!

Very convenient!   ::)

What engine is in it? Do paperclip test if you can and get codes read.

Also avoid all future contact with this garage!

You are wasting your time at these garages.
                                                                         
best if you could do the job yourself

garages try to make a big job out of a small job

Will not wand to no about EML been on

That won't bring that light on though. Do the pedal test see what codes come up ;)

Paperclip/pedal test is easier  :)
