Update from workshop: Still unable to find anything out of the ordinary in terms of emissions from the car. However they’ve continued to ignore the water leak(?!), and just keep adding water to it. So while it does get to operating temperature, if they keep trying to push it, it just loses more and more.
The guy literally said it was the bleed screw not tightened up, so not sure why they didn’t just do it and move on? Especially given they refitted the charge pipe… He asked if I wanted to fix the leak myself... Like I'd turn up to their workshop with a screwdriver and tighten the thing myself, then walk out again... Actually I probably should have done that, just because it's so fucking ridiculous.
So I’ve asked them to do that, and if I don’t hear from them again today, they’ll keep it for the weekend and call on Monday.
EDIT: I did not hear from them again today, so it's staying on an extended sleepover.
