What's the potential fault ? If it's really nothing that could be affected by a backbox change, then you might be able to pursue them successfully by threatening legals or whatever.

The dealer's being a tw@ though for even mentioning the previous presence of the Milltek to the warranty co.

Lawsy 20mph - 196mph in a split second

The dealer is at fault here,how did the warranty know about the exhaust,as they rarely visit the dealer,as said take it to another dealer.

Ive posted loads about the fuck ups they made and their attitudes, nearly twatted the head tech but he was hiding in the workshop.

(if not hj my rant was for nothing but I feel better

)

Had a similar problem when they told me my warranty would not cover an abs sensor after "ON THE COMPUTER IT FAILED AT 196MPH, AND I HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN RACING ON TRACK" according to the prick that phoned me. I asked if maybe the reason the abs logged as failed was maybe all the rest were reading 20mph when the light came on (I was doing 20mph) and maybe the 196mph was a faulty reading! Fuckwit. He said they would not honour the warranty. Quick visit to the service manager and all was well again, but I wont go back, EVER. I had an incident re the flap at an earlier date which they were completely wrong on too. WANKERS full stop.

Dont hold back Lawsy,say it how it is.

I invariably do

They replaced a viscous fan, less than 50 miles later it fucking fell off. They did not tighten it. Thats the main reason when I visited the service manager they backed down. As I reminded them of there previous fuckup which I had complained about. I'm sure I remember telling Bromers not to use them when he visited our garage once. ?

Murketts for me now, its a trek but I know.........

A) theres no jobsworth wanker deciding if my airfreshener hanging from the rear view mirror has invalidated my warranty

and

B) the jobs done right

Thats exactly what I said, I told him 175mph max, his response was "well I have been on to BMW motorsport this morning who said it would do 183mph"

I then told him in a flury of swear words how the fuck could I be doing 196mph then?

As I said Nathan, Fuckwits of the highest order

Unless the modified part has effected the part that has gone wrong, then they have to warrant the problem. Thats what i thought!?
