And the guy I just spoke to, who did seem pretty knowledgeable, is certain this would NOT have been covered by the extended warranty. Not sure how it is different to Pete's case above. Fortunately, in his opinion it is not urgent and may take a long time to get serious. Fingers and toes now crossed that he is right... |
A leaking damper (possible MOT fail) should be covered under the comprehensive extended warranty. If less than 100k miles, replacement comes under the wear and tear clause.
For me, there was no need for debate. The damper was inspected, it was leaking, it was replaced under warranty. As BMW specify that dampers must be replaced in pairs if the mileage is over 80000kms, mine qualified at 56k miles. Therefore both replaced under the extended warranty. I simply paid the £100 excess.
