So you're saying you don't need to go to a dealer for warranty work in the UK?
Amazing :eek:.

The whole engine is returned to the UK. It's up to them what they do with it but the dealer will never know the outcome of the stripdown.

Lou - congrats - I hope that solves your drama

There must be some type of warranty - let's say, for example, they did this one day before your warranty expired - and it broke down the next day.....
I would think they would have to provide some sort of assurance.

The sad thing is it sounds like they have no idea what your problem is.... therefore replace the lot. Oh well if it solves your problem.......

With any luck they will fit a gem of a motor and you'll be right for another 150,000 to 200,000 kms.

i belive all warrenty work must be done by the dealer but servicing can be done by any qualified mechanic/garage.
ian

not so.

servicing can be carried out by any suitabley certified mechanic

warranty work is carried out by any authorised agent (which is typically dealers)

Anyone can service the car as long as they use the correct genuine parts and service to the correct schedule.

My car was serviced by me from 11000 miles and I never had an issue on warranty claims.
