I've taken a warranty out, I think it's worth the money but that's my opinion.

 

If your interested leave your name below or mail me on mattylloyd63@hotmail.com and I'll sort you out.

Matty,

 

I'm interseted, but as you say it's gotta be stock, you know the car i'm buying a lot better than me, what do you think????

 

Regards

 

Rich

It's stock parts........

 

I sent you mail BTW.....

 

Matty.

Nice one:D

 

Rich

So basically if a part goes and it is a stock or Nissan standard part it is covered, but stuff like larger turbos are not.

 

If your engine blows you are covered as long as it is not because of carbon deposits. And if you stock turbos seize you are coverd as long as it is not because of objects causing damage.

 

What about suspention and such. If your stock suspention goes is that covered? What about wheel bearings and such. Does that come under wear and tear or is that a failure?

 

If some ones HICAS is not working its covered. (I dont have it ;))

 

If your car is modified. i.e. chip and increased boost, would that not effect the warrany on the engine and turbos?

 

Stuart

Not covered:

"Effects of over heating, wether caused by an insured part or not."

 

So... Radiator fails, engine overheats, and is ruined, you only get a new radiator, right???

 

Also, too many get outs as far as I can see.

 

and the killer....must be serviced by a VAT registered garage every 6 months, well there are no garages remotely local to me who I would trust anywhere near my zed, thankyou!!!

 

So I'll decline

Service just means oil change really.

Buy the parts yourself and tell them to change it.

Stuart and Paul,

 

Find a 'good' garage..............if you catch my drift!!

 

;)

 

Matty.

it reads like a pretty standard warranty, id like more info though :) its not very detailed ;) someone needs to get typing

Justin,

 

That is slightly reduced.

 

Mike,

 

Did you not read the post above...........whatever is not in the 'not covered' section is covered. :D

 

My fingers are tired.......:cry:

 

I thought I had actually desribed everything pretty well.

 

Matty.

could you type up whats covered in the engine :) thats basically what I want to see, or if they have a website ;)

 

I've just been reading through a lot of warranties lately,

 

also will they not cover me because I have a mongoose exhaust? I have a few mods planned over the next few months and I don't want my warranty null and void say if my engine blows up and i have uprated suspension...

actually I just checked my old warranty....... it is through warranty holdings LOL
