3 Months parts and labour mechanical breakdown warranty
Excludes any failure of parts caused by loss of coolant or
oil, loss of coolant. (Engine water or fluid)�. This can be
caused by a leaking radiator, water pump, water pipe, head
gasket, other gasket, O ring etc�.. Vehicles are fitted with a
temperature gauge or warning light to alert the driver of
coolant loss, another sign of coolant loss is the heater going
cold. At the first sign of either. STOP IMMEDIATELY. Failure
to do so will ruin the engine and be the owner�s
responsibility. Wait for the engine to cool (up to 30 minutes)
before checking the coolant level. Do not remove the coolant
pressure cap until cool. Familiarise yourself with the normal
position of the engine temperature gauge (if fitted) if
temperature rises more than normal. STOP IMMEDIATELY. Note:
The engine will run slightly hotter in hot weather.
Loss of oil or oil pressure, this can be caused by a
leaking gasket, washer, oil seal etc, or, oil pump failure. If
the oil pressure gauge drops or oil warning light shows when
driving. STOP IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so may ruin the
engine and be the owner�s responsibility. Familiarise yourself
with the normal position of the oil pressure gauge (if fitted)
Note: Oil pressure will be less when the engine is hot.
Engine management systems, ECU�s, sensors, etc
Vehicles after the year 2000 are generally fitted with an
ECU (electrical control unit), this is basically a computer
that tells the vehicle how to run, by sensing vehicle speed,
fuel emissions, throttle position, crankshaft position,
camshaft position, exhaust gasses, gear position and speed
etc. When any of these experience a glitch or failure, they
may cause the engine management system to go into limp or get
you home mode. This may be indicated by an engine management
light illuminating. The engine will normally lose power or may
stop. This is rather like your home PC needing to be
re-booted. This can sometimes be overcome by turning the
ignition off for 30 seconds and on again, or removing a
battery terminal and re-fitting after 30 seconds (please
remove keys from the car before doing so) Sensor failures can
sometimes be caused by water ingress, extreme temperatures,
electrical interference, stone or debris damage and general
wear and tear, i.e. they are simply worn out, they look
perfect but have stopped working. We will do our best to find
the problem and help with the costs (we have access to most of
the latest and best diagnostic machines and mechanics) we will
diagnose, and endeavor to help at our discretion but will not
be held responsible for cost of repairs.
This is a mechanical breakdown warranty, it does not cover
general wear & tear. Excludes CD Players, Tuners, or any
type of entertainment system.
Cheapies: These vehicles are usually high mileage, ( over
100,000 miles, & over 10 years old ), which have generally
been part exchanged on a retail car we have sold. They are
normal everyday cars in reasonable condition for their age &
mileage. We recommend that you have a knowledgeable friend or
mechanic check the vehicle, at our premises before buying, as
these cars are sold "as seen & tried", without any warranty
whatsoever, unless agreed & written by us on the purchase
invoice. If not, then they are sold, as seen for spares or
repair. Please note that there is no comeback after
a vehicle
has been purchased.
Any repairs, work or alterations to a vehicle supplied by
us by persons
other than those previously approved and agreed by us, DOES
Invalidate any warranty.
