Needed the car for work the next day so just went and collected it.
Anyway, I thought sod it I'll do it myself,
Armed myself with the special tool £70 bought an endoscope from Screwfix £70 blower motor £49
Passenger seat/carpet out
CEM out
Recirc unit removed
Speedo out
Then I found the release clip with the endoscope through the Speedo hole and slid a 1 metre aluminium ruler down to the clip and prised it apart while my helper disengaged the blower motor from the passenger side, all in all about 5 hours, and a lot easier than removing the dash, steering wheel etc
Soldered wires my @£$€

That’s the only problem with many garages… you never really know whether they’ve actually looked at an issue properly before throwing the towel in.
This was probably one of those jobs that they took on, but something much easier come in like a big service or something & they went down the easy path doing that instead.
So basically, you were fobbed off.
