Vauxhall Astra J - astra issues - Dayski

Help!!! I have an Astra 1.6 on a 10 plate, 67k miles. Had water pump fail in Jan and took head gasket with it. Both replaced. Collected from garage, filled up with fuel, car refused to start and when it finally did the EML light illuminated and the car was hesitant under load. The garage have had it back and so far have replaced the crankshaft and cam shaft sensor, the vtv and pullies, car was till the same so they replaced a sensor in the gearbox and since then they car now refuses to start, it turns over. The garage are at a loss and i really need my car fixed. And advice or idea what could be the issue, thanks x

Sorry but the garage isn't competant,

no other way to put it.

No matter what the actual fault is diagnosis should't take that long.

You need to get it to somebody better.
