  1. So, on new year's Day evening, my car produced loads of start up warnings after parking for hours at a very cold spot. No issues whatsoever until then. Faults: Safety system fault, start stop system fault, ESC fault, cruise control unavailable, presence restricted, TPMS fault, parking brake fault, basically every fault on the book. The car won't move and I had to tow it home coz no garages opened. Next morning went to a local mechanic and he said it's a software problem and suggested me to take the car to the dealer. Dealer diagnosed of throttle valve problem, and because the car was 6 years old and 70k miles up, suggested I got a new cambelt. I obliged. But yesterday I got a call from them saying there was judders with the clutch, and I needed to change clutch and probably flywheel. I am totally gobsmacked. I had no warnings, no issue with driving before the new year day. What could have gone wrong? Is it possible that the dealer is going rogue? They now want extra money to diagnose the clutch, already charged me £130 for the diagnostics on the first day. Do I have any chance to salvage the car without spending 4K at the dealer. They have already billed me 1.7K. 16 reg car with 72k miles on board. Feeling really stupid and hopeless.
