Car issues, engine failure.

[inflames]

People always ditch it asap after repair, but it's unlikely to happen again soon. Plus the work is warrantied (for a year I think)

Yes the work and engine is warrantied for a year plus I would still have just shy of a year left on the original warranty.

But I doubt I will keep it for long. Maybe a month or so to make sure it’s all working fine before finding something else or straight to We buy any car.

I’d get rid of asap once fixed.

When issues like this have happened to me in the past, I loose confidence in the vehicle and brand. The further risk of throwing up big future repair bills is too high but it’s the sheer inconvenience of being without your car, chasing up third parties for updates, etc. that’s the real pain in the bum for me.

100% with you here, lost all confidence with car and doubt it will ever come back. Trying to deal with the warrant company is absolute pain.

Definitely would leave a 'bad taste' in your mouth. What happened to the days when engines would last

Yeah it's under warranty, but you've just witnessed first-hand how grim the warranty itself can be..!

Ended in the mid 00s it seems.

Feels like ages sense I updated this thread. Anyway, the garage has fitted the replacement engine and it is all running as it should. The MOT is delayed until next week, due to a very small coolant leak and they are waiting on a replacement hose. Everything seems very positive, should hopefully have the car back next week and hopefully it will be the end of this saga.

Glad it's almost working - light at the end of the tunnel!
