speeder Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 First thing would be talk to the dealer, and see what they have to say, rather than jumping in feet first and enquiring on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOOFY Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I would say to find out what the fault is first and then speak to the dealer. If he is a reputable trader I'm sure he come to some agreement with the repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
