Just been looking in the handbook for my Focus 18 Zetec 2000 X, and it specifies 2 different replacement intervals depending on whether the car has automatic chain tensioners or not...
How can I tell which one applies to my vehicle ?.....

Thanks in advance... Read more

Forum How to avoid invalidating a warranty

volvoman on 1 January 2005

The whole issue of warranties and their T&C's seem quite complex to me so I'm wondering:

a) if there's a simple rule as to what an owner should or shouldn't do in order to avoid ivalidating a manufacturer's warranty in the 1st 3 years

b) what is the best route to take for servicing/repairs etc. once the maker's original warranty has expired and

c) what the various options for extended warranties are and whether these are worthwhile.

Can anyone shed any light? Ta all. Read more

Volvoman,

I have just purchased a hyundai coupe which comes with 5yrs manufacturers warranty (not dealer). Motto is make sure you know exactly what your getting before you buy, too late afterwards !!
