I hope you do some reading on here and find all these things you might need to consider with your new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly shows. Give up on trying to argue your point by talking about contracts of service etc. as it just makes you look like a bit of a twat. sh*t happens, the caps do get brittle and fail after time so no the workshop shouldn't be liable. For it to be the workshop's fault they would have to intentionally crush it and I really doubt that would be the case. Be grateful it happened under an expert hand and not in the middle of nowhere where it could have had some really serious implications. Another example of this sort of thing is the bonnet release mechanism. If a mechanic is opening your bonnet and it breaks (as a result of fair wear and tear) then you will be paying to fix it. All these guys are here to help, sometimes that involves taking the piss a little bit, don't lose sleep over it buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about charging me 1 1/2 hrs to open the head gasket and collect it.There is a contract of service, and it has nothing about damages.Like explained earlier, where does the liability off the consumer occur?If u have an operation and next day you have blood positioning or an infection like staff, indemnity and liability cover the hospital and surgeon as they are responsible.So in comparison, when would the mechanic be liable?

Only replies are ones like yours, smart arse keyboard warrior comments that you use intended to insult me. However, all I can see is simple minded and ignorant.The question AGAIN is on the lines of this: where does the liability of damage on a motor vehicle transfer to a mechanic when they are doing work to your motor vehicle?I know that when tuning and when dyno running the car, you take full responsibility (upon signing a declaration).Real answers to this question please, not ones that relate to the past posts.Kind regards,A fellow ford owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on here are mechanics and have stated that they wouldn't be responsible. Highly doubt your going to get the answer your looking for. Just stir the trolls. Mate you sound articulate and educated. Sell the Ford and buy a Skoda Superb. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
