There was a thread not so long ago where we were supporting a fellow enthusiast whose 2.5 had been in for 6 months waiting for the usual HG etc. to be done under warranty.

An awful lot of people were amazed that it had gone on (or been allowed to) for so long.

But three years ?????????????????

Take them to Small Claims for compensation for depreciation I say
