More warranty work for the Tata.
« on: 04 March 2019, 15:09:59 »

Both of my XFR's have had warranty work undertaken for a fault with the central locking system.The car I now own had warranty work for a wing mirror that wouldn't fold and sounded like a loose nut in a food blender. £600 apparently.

Now both bonnet support struts have gone tits up. Luckily my head was not under the bonnet when they failed. :)

The 2 year warranty runs out in September. Any further repairs could prove expensive after that.

Time for a new car perhaps?

I believe there are a few Teslas going cheap. Very slight smell of smoke about them.

Actually, I've always been very fond of diesel cars. :)

I'm sure you'll imminently be receiving a glossy flyer explaining that, while JLR products are impeccably reliable, they'll happily sell you an extended warranry. For only slightly less than the average UK mortgage per month  ::)

Worrying amount of warranty work.

My dads Ford Fiesta has developed an intermittent fault still in warranty. Right when tested....

You would have thought by now that all problems would have been ironed out on new cars.

Wifey's astra had a new accelerator pedal switch under warranty last week. Apparently, they'd 'had a few in'. But, with reference to your comment about new cars, I doubt Vauxhall had anything to do with making the electrical components.

Haven't Suburu just issued recall in Yankee land with brake switches being incompatible with owner's hygiene products.  I believe they are trying to avoid having to do a global recall.  Bless the Japs...

They still haven't fixed that?
We were seeing lots of failures of Astra pedals 15 years ago!

You knew where you were with a throttle cable that you could pull on under the bonnet. :y

My 1982 Y Reg Astra MK 1 was one of the last cars with contact breaker 'points'
