YOU IS at a guess but EV I got the whole "rattle out of the pram" thing the other night and now you have curbed the "headrest and wheel and valet and weblink car boot sale" thing and curbed the award winning "moaning about FL2's in relation to FL1's & MPG & Boring looks & bland car & ford parts bin thing" along with the fact that everyone�s more sensitive to your sensitivity I was expecting a calmer valeter.

Guys,need your help with regards this topic, what modifications will effect the warranty, is there any easy way of summarising it, will putting larger wheels on effect warranty, does fitting rear spoilers effect it, are dealers that strict and stupid??

Here in the USA we have a law that protects us against dealers refusing to honor warranties when we make aftermarket mods. They have to prove that the modification you made, caused the problem they're servicing. |

It's called the MAGNUSSON-MOSS ACT. If your vehicle is still under warranty and you put a high performance chip in your vehicle and later down the road develop brake problems, the dealer still has to repair the brakes. He can't say no because you violated the warranty. |
