Enquired @ local VX dealer about getting the mudflap ( Facory fitted) sorted. Mudflap itself is not the problem, the middle of 3 securing self tappers has sheared, so the flap needs to come of, remander of sheared screw removed and new screw fittiing.

Here's the nub, the car was bought from then June 04,has just over 13K on the clock has full VX SH.I am informed that the mudflaps are not covered under 3 year warranty. VX don't sell self tapper seperately, i need to buy complete flap set!!.

Anyone got VX customer care contact details?

The mudflaps would not have been "factory-fitted", they'll have been "dealer-fit" before delivery, hence the exclusion from the manufacturers warranty.

If your servicing has been carried out by the selling dealer, contact the new car sales manager and discuss / negotiate whether any goodwill exists between you.

"they'll have been "dealer-fit" before delivery"

Yup and therefore have a 12 month warranty. Its possible they might even be classed as wear and tear items.

agreed,But dont see them being covered under warranty anyway,wear and tear item.
Lot of fuss over one screw though?
