back home now! Well, following on from earlier, I found out that my warranty had expired after taking the car in to the dealers for rear suspension clunking. It'd been my intention to get mazdas extended warranty before mine ran out, but here I was needing work done without a warranty. Cursed myself for not properly checking my v5 to see when my warranty died.
Decided to phone customer services as my dealer told me that usually Mazda contact you before your warranty runs out, in the hope they'd sell me another year. It turns out Mazda uk have no record of my car apart from it exists as a vin number- no model, reg number, owner, nothing. Only thing was that warranty was up on 01/01/2010. Meaning that it mustve been registered on new years day (this is when I first suspected something was up)
they passed me on to mazdas warranty company who quoted that warranty date saying I'd need a full check done before they'd sell me a warranty (so my suspension would need fixed before they'd sell me a years warranty)
pissed off, I got my v5 out and checked the 1st reg date .... Huh, registered new in the uk on 25/6/07!! On the phone to the original dealers, according to their records my car still is under warranty. . .. What on earth is going on!!???
