DSLiverpool, to give another side to the service provided by Infiniti, I have had a complete gearbox replaced by Infiniti following a weeks work of testing and sending data to Japan by ICR. The cost of this replacement (trade) was well over 9k. This was done FOC when my car was several months out of warranty as a gesture of goodwill (my car was purchased privately not through ICR) Similarity I have gad a new battery fitted, various software updates and diagnostics all outside of warranty and all provided as a gesture of goodwill.
After a shaky start with the brand I am very happy with the service I have experienced and certainly given my experiences dealing with BMW on warranty claims for cars actually in warranty I couldn't be more impressed with the way Infiniti have stood by their product.

Swerni, be great to hear what it sounds like. Can you put a clip on here or YouTube?

Sounds lovely. Funnily enough I stumbles across your other thread with the clips on just after I posted it here.

Is the exhaust made by quicksilver?

It does seem strange. I sent a link of the official Infiniti used car scheme that someone posted up on here to the DP at Reading following a chat I had with him a few weeks ago regarding the lack of progress on warranty, they had the site taken down quickly and I have heard nothing since so have renewed again with Readings third party warranty provider although they were unable to deal with me so I dealt direct.

As an aside, DSLiverpool, I would be interested to here your first impressions of your Leaf, ours arrives next Friday.

No further update from Reading.
My car is back there at the moment having broken down on Thursday. It looks like the steering lock sensor has broken so will find out how good the autoprotect warranty is!

Auto protect have coughed up without any quibble and the car is now thankfully fixed, so with labour and parts the warranty has paid for itself for this year!

Sorry to hear you are leaving the fold DS. Are you trading it in or selling privatey?
I must admit since the Leaf arrived the FX hardly gets used and was tempted to sell but I think I wil hang on for the time being..

I had an email from Reading on Wednesday finally confirming that the official warranty scheme will be up and running shortly. I have been asked to provide some information to obtain a quote. I will update the thread once I have some more details.

That's not good DS. Have you been unable to get ANY bid from a franchised dealer?
The warranty situation seems farcical too.

Still didn't receive the message DS. Sorry to hear about the hassle with the V5, a sad end to the ownership experience.. Did it go to WBAC?
I think an email to Infiniti UK highlighting this thread might help them sharpen the customer service focus...
As you have said, it's a good car but let down by the lack of customer service from the dealer network, which in reality is mainly due to the fact that Infiniti UK don't seem to take the UK market very seriously.

The email address is current and correct. There must be a problem with messaging through the site I guess.
