The oil leak on the transmission bellhousing is a known failure point and a MASSIVE job - so count your lucky stars you've got OPC warranty and they'll fix it :thumb:
If not you'd be looking at £5k+ unless they'd offer up some good will given they know about the fault but don't go overboard on publicising it or to the extent of recalling all 3.0D affected. When I bought mine the first thing my Indy said was "You do know about the oil leak on these?" :what:
My understanding is it will happen to all of them at some point to varying degrees of leak
However look forward to a nice courtesy car whilst yours will be in for a week. :grin:
Now suspension is interesting. What is the expected wear and tear age/miles for them :?: Have they failed prematurely in which case they might offer some good will? Read what it says in the warranty booklet to understand how they class suspension parts. Failure and wear and tear should be distinct.
Not sure on the bubbling trim
ETA from the Warranty booklet:
Visual and acoustic concerns, ageing and wear
are not defects and are therefore excluded
from the warranty. Highlighted below are the
parts that are typically subject to wear and
hence the cost of their replacement is unlikely
to be covered by the warranty.
Shock absorbers are in the list. Is it a defect or wear and tear? I thought leaking shocks will fail an MOT as well?
Also 'Unlikely' doesn't necessarily mean 'exlcuded' :hand:
