Feels like I'm riding the clutch...

Heres an update if anyones interested. The car is still in the garage Apparently they were supplied with the wrong pedal box originally and had to wait for a replacement to arrive, then they said it was a nigthmare taking the old one out because it was damaged and putting the new one in was also difficult. Once that was done, apparently the brake pedal was sticking and so they had to take the pedal box out AGAIN to get it sorted. There was some other stuff that needed doing as a result of a botched job by a garage I took it to previously for a different problem and so the final bill came out at £833...

During all the above I was informed that part of the wiring loom beneath the steering collumn had actually melted/burnt at some point and they wanted an auto electrician to have a look. They also said the indicators and the windscreen washer nozzles were now not working (they were when I broke down and the car went in though). Cutting a long story short, the electrician has told them that to get that issue sorted will cost somewhere between £400 - £500!!!

The garage its in said that they think the burnt wiring possibly occurred as a result of previous work by the other garage or was damaged by the pedal box making contact with the wiring loom when it failed (when I broke down).

The car is now running but obviously without indicators and is still in the garage. I dont know what to do. I've been told to get the car independently inspected - obviously I'm not happy the car went in with no electrical issues and now I have to pay up to £500 on top of the original cost to get issues that occurred while it was being fixed sorted. The garage advertises as being a SEAT specialist.

Has anyone got any advice? Should I just pay up (somehow) or make a fuss about the electrical issues? Also is the independent inspection a good idea?
