Garage woes

Hi chaps. I'm in need of a but of advice.
Took the FF in to what I thought was a reputable garage for an oil & filter change and coolant change.
anyway. Went to pick it up and the FF was leaking lpg from the vaporizer and now displays air susp inactive.
Chap said that the eas was working fine when they had it and the message should clear on the drive home.
It hasn't.
I've read on FFRR about turning the steering lock to lock. Not cleared it.
I'm thinking of taking it back to be fault read and cleared.
I've looked at the leak and I think they bled the coolant system via the vaporizer but didn't tighten it up properly. I've done that now though.
I was supposed to be taking it into them for a transmission oil and filter change next week. Might not bother
What do you guys think?

I'd be worried about their workmanship and attitude

I would take it back and get them to fix the air suspension fault

I would then find another garage - a bodged transmission fluid change could result in a new gearbox, you wouldn't be able to prove it was their fault, but you would be picking up the bill

Hope you get it sorted Thumbs Up 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

Bleeding the coolant thru the vaporiser ? Complete and utter bunch of bone headed spanner monkies.
Never darken their doorway again and think yourself lucky you got off this lightly

I know you chaps are right.
I'm not sure if this is the done thing. I'm sure the mods will remove if necessary.
to make others on here aware. The garage was Karl Fisher autos in cannock.
I chose these as someone reccomended them and when I went to book in they appeared to live up to their name. Outside was two range rovers, an audi r8, a classic jag and a Porsche.
