The camera only comes on when the ignition key supplies power, as the mechanic had the key in the ignition and then hit the lock it supplied power thus starting immediate recording, he then immediately shouts to a colleague "Ive fixed it!" he then goes on to say how he did it with a hammer, how much more evidence do you need?

Probably £36 for the lock and £1000 for knowing where to hit it!

Fair enough, and you have edited out the dealer, but how can you say its not certain? The guy is IN my car, he has JUST got the ignition & steering lock working by BATTERING it with a hammer, in turn the power from the 'fix' has caused the camera to start recording and the guy can be clearly heard boasting how he 'fixed' it, and then discusses about finishing the job, SIMPLES!

If you have a problem like this you should take it up with the dealer first before showing it on here or anywhere else.

Also you say it is your car but you are just a randomperson on the internet so you could also trying to pull a scam or tarnishing the dealers name with a lie. I'm not saying that is what you are doing just that we have no way to know what is correct so you need to at first complain to the dealer and take it from there.

This issue has now been resolved by way of the dealer showing me CCTV imaging of my car actually being pushed into their workshop for repair, they have also warned the technician about his hammer battering methods, they have also issued me with a £400 refund. So the matter is now closed.
