John my Father in law swore by Drakes at shiptonthorpe for all his work and servicing on his 05 conni cdti ex mg rover dealership still has a T4 diagnostic machine i think not far from Hull well worth a call,link below.

Failing that i have been using the Cottingham mot centre for a few years now for the jobs i cannot manage myself and found them to be excellent and knowledgeable regards our cars also they are members of the good garage scheme and charge fairly,link below.
