Got a call this morning from the shop saying the follow is stuffed:An engine mountGear box mountRear diff bushesCV BootsThe car is lowered on king springs and Munroe shocks, now has a 4" exhaust, injectors and has been tuned etc. Just wondering how I'll go getting this through warranty? I have kept my servicing up and my log book all checks out, plus I had 18 months new car warranty when I bought my car second hand, and that 18 months is up soon.Some people have said provided I dont take it back to where I bought it, other Ford dealerships will do warranty on the car as they get paid either way and dont care if the car is modified. I believe the 4 problems that I listed should get covered under warranty, only thing im unsure on is the CV boots, as I think they f*cked out from being low, but I have since raised it.Any advice or info would be great as I really dont want to have to repalce that stuff out of my own pocket.Cheers guys!

Think logically for a second, why should I pay for it all if I can get it from fraud for free - its worth a shot.Thanks guys, and FYI - the same shop im taking my car to, does work on another F6, complete with turbo upgrade etc etc and our local Ford dealership still does all his warranty.

All they get is a handling fee of $100 or so. Because the repair is at warranty rates not retail.The dealers would be able to source from other dealers your service history so no matter where you go they can trace it in the network.Give it a go though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
