A nearby garage was telling me today that they had sent a Vauxhall to a dealer for a burnt out starter to be replaced under warranty. Although the car was out of the 3 year warranty it had recently had a new starter fitted by a Vauxhall garage (only a few months ago). The dealer rang to say they would not replace the starter as the car had already had one fitted under warranty.

I thought a replacement part should be covered for 12 months - but evidently not if it is a replacement!
