Re: Warranty Help

I gave my local dealer a call to find out what was happening and was told that they are waiting on the area manager to visit the showroom so he can view the pictures and decide what is to happen.

Re: Warranty Help

Thanks millentubby for the advice and it was not done by scuffing the door of a step/kerb.

Re: Warranty Help

Surely that would only get rid of the rust stains on the outside of the door but it is bubbling underneath the stain and i would still have the rust in the inside of my door.
Have i not got a case with my warranty with what you can see?
