Wouldn’t a misfire generate a fault code in a module?
Not always, an odd occurrence wouldn’t be flagged up unless it went past a certain threshold :thumbsup:

Yep.

An unusual for an N54 reason for a misfire AFAIK, can add it to the repertoire of things to check in that event :thumbsup:

You can see why people get anxiety attacks going to AD for anything but servicing.

My Volvo dealer wanted £1,500 to change front n rear discs n pads and wouldn’t release the car because at 5mm pad left it ‘wasn’t safe’
I had a similar experience with a dealer failing an MOT cos they said there wasn't enough tread on one of the tyres so wouldn't release it as they said it wasn't safe. Had to pay their prices for a pair of new tyres.

Insisted on the tyre in question being returned to me as I knew there was about another 5K miles at least that's why I didn't replace it before the MOT. Spookily they said the old tyres had been disposed of :o

Never used them again.
