I like that story!
I have been in a dilemma because I had a 3 year warranty chucked in with my car when I bought it but SL has told me some scarey stories which means I can't face taking my car to a Nissan garage to keep the warranty in tact. I am therefore going to my usual garage that looked after my Rover. It's a Unit on a very tiny industrial estate hidden away from the rest of the world. They write in their appointments in a paper diary that has oily finger prints all over it and don't hesitate to say when you pick the car up "keep an eye on your brakes/tyres, etc, you'll get another 2 months out of them before they need changing". I'll be booking my car in there this week
Tim, if you want the details for future reference, they are in Bletchley and not a million miles away from you.
