I'm sure there's a recent European Court deision that said that you don't have to have the car serviced by a main dealer to keep a manufacturer's warranty going - as long as the car is serviced with genuine parts.

So, if I'm right, you could easily get Grizz to do the work and maintain the warranty ..

yes thats the manufacturers warranty, i.e. fresh from the factory...it doesnt apply to extended warranties as they are not compulsory and are chosen on your own free will

got mine back from Dundee after its 55,00 service, oil and filter change and then informed its due a brake fluid service which was fine, a total of £209 don`t think thats bad at all for a main dealer.

That's excellent. It cost me that just for the oil (just the oil, not labour or filter) from a main dealer.
