• Used-car warranties 31 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  I am about to renew the RAC Signature Used Car warranty on my M-B E320 Coupe, but before I do I thought I'd ask whether there are any other schemes worth considering. I have called on the RAC warranty on several occasions over the past two years (two different cars, same model) and it seems to be a reasonable scheme.

• Minimum warranty on used cars 12 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I was just reading HJs column online and came across a post referring to the The Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations 2002. This effectively states that used car dealer are legally obliged to provide a six month warranty, and would need to prove that any fault arising within that period didn't exist at the time of sale. I was completely unaware that this regulation existed and, judging by the adverts I'm coming across on AT, so are most used car dealers.

• MG TF - Used car warranty - what are my rights? 16 May 2012 (Forum)
  I bought an MG TF in August 2011 and for peace of mind opted for a £290 12 month used car warranty with The Warranty Co.  Recently, when checking the oil levels etc I noticed the coolant level had dropped considerably and there was sludge on the coolant cap.  With my little knowledge of cars I suspected there may be a problem with the cylinder head gasket.

• Vauxhall Meriva B - Bought a fairly new car from Salvage - warranty? 28 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  I bought a car from salavage and did it up. There is no record that its ever had a problem - unrecorded. Can I still use the warranty on it? I think if it goes on the ramp it is possible that they will notice its had an accident - it works fine just need to get the ECU reprogrammed and it's got a problem with error codes coming up - was wondering if its possible to use the warranty - it's less than a year old.

• MG HS Auto - Maintaining Warranty 10 Mar 2023 (Forum)
  Given the choice we'd like to use our local independent garage but are concerned that as we wish to retain the car for a number of years we don't want to invalidate the warranty. Would it be wise to take the car further afield to another MG garage or will we retain the warranty if we use the local independent?

• Jaguar F Pace - Getting car serviced during warranty period 23 May 2020 (Forum)
  HaS anyone ever got a new car serviced not at Main Dealer but a normal garage using approved Jaguar parts and then gone to make a warranty claim at the main dealer and they’ve said no and wiggled out of it some how because you’ve not used a main dealer and done it at a normal garage.
