Hi Kevin!
Yeah, you should go to an indie with STAR first before you decide on anything else. A local aircond expert told me that I had to change the condenser, expansion valve and drier plus a full service and regas for £290 and I still had to go to a Merc specialist to remove the EC light problem. Yeah right.
Luckily I decided to have the car diagnosed on STAR first and there is no damage to the hardwares and the cost was minimal.
About your problem with the "go to workshop" warning", I suggest you get the car hooked up to a STAR diagnostics to find out what is really wrong with your car. Before going to the indie I kept on having several fault warnings appearing on the ASSYST display and non of them made any sense. ABS warning. It worked just fine. ESP warning. It worked fine too. Then rear brake light warning. Checked, no faulty bulbs. Then headlamp warning. No problems too. The xenons are working fine and dandy.
The indie specialist I went to checked for all these faults and found that all the components are working fine. He had all the fault codes removed and no more undue warnings so far.
Cheers!!!
