Depends on the claim I would have thought? If its a failure the full three years, but wear issues are likley to be more complicated as the car gets older.

irrespective of warranty you can quote the Sale of Goods Act with reference to durability, always worth a read and have the facts to hand should the going get tough, normally a copy highlighted for them helps

not to mention my missus is now paranoid about the size of her ar$e  :scared:

The side bolster on my previous car (new MINI), the spring collapsed after 3K miles. I was told by MINI that this was general wear and tear..............LOL...after 3K miles..yes nice reply thanks!

One of many reasons why I promptly got rid of the car, in exchange for all of my money back!

Hope you get the issue sorted wigit, and get a better response than I did by MINI!

Yeah mine's pretty bad too.



It's a clicky!

That's at 8k (bought it at 3k). Just figured it was wear and tear.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
