• Nissan Primera IV - "Dealer" warranty or "Insurance" warranty ? 29 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I did read some bad reviews about WMS that they blame most claims against wear and tear and refuse to cover.... so it's kind of like not having a warranty ! The problem is, I don't get much good cars in my area, so I probably would have to end up buying a car from 50-60 miles away .

• Tact or dynamite? 5 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  These people also back the warranty. Now I have just discovered that the cam belt wasn't tensioned correctly ( car was making strange jangly noises) which is a serious mistake and it will mean it will have to be done again and properly.
