Hi all. Spent most of the morning fitting new discs and pads all round.
It was the first time i'd ever done Scooby rear brakes but went ok..........Hopefully.

I'm wounded as it's money I ain't got It's just a quick way garages can make a bit more money on top of the sale.They say it's for your piece of mind but the truth is it's very rare that any of these warranties actually pay out.
Are you going to take legal advice or put it down to experience?
All the best.....

Those Warranties that backstreet garages supply arn't worth the paper there printed on.

I have been in exactly the same position a few years ago when i purchased my motor.The Rad on mine started leaking water the day after i bought it,i phoned the place where i bought it from only to be told that the owner was away on holiday.
I am not saying this to make you worry all i am saying is speak to the owner when he gets back to try to reach an agreement,if that fails you need to take this further you have a strong case against the car dealer.
From what i have read you have hardly driven the car plus with the mileage that it has done this engine problem shouldn't have happened.
Have you got full service history and does the mileage add up?..
