If you can see the small silver exhaust unit and other bits then you have one and the dealer is a schmuck  2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

I would suggest you use a different dealer ....and when you pick the car up open the bonnet and show the tossers  G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

I will do Wiggs , these are the same dealers that told me it had a timing chain fitted and not a belt 
As i bought the car off this dealer , i have taken it back to them as i thought it would have been easier .

Are they a franchised LR dealer ?? If so I'd complain to LR customer services and get a rocket put up their backsides.

Simon , yes they are. I dont know how i have held off contacting LRCC as they have had it in the workshops more time than i have actually driven it since august. 
Looking quite forward to using Yeovil in a funny sort of way and meeting TLO

My thoughts as well. Sounds like a serious lack of workshop training, which can only lead to more issues as they search further into the car for faults.

Not if you have a silver and black block front left side of engine bay, just to the rear of the coolant expansion bottle. Has two large pipes (air inlet and exhaust), one small black pipe (diesel supply), and three wiring connectors, together with two coolant pipes going into it.
If the dealer says it isn´t an FBH, just what does he say it is???
You couldn´t make this up 
...and yes pleeeeease name and shame Cheers
