I don't generally post on here but I've got some good news to share - might be of use to other folks on here...

My V12V reaches the milestone of three years old shortly. Prior to the warranty expiring I wanted to make sure that any little niggles were fixed under warranty. A brief chat with the chaps at Bamford Rose lead to my car going to BR for a pre-warranty-expiry inspection. The BR team picked up a list of ten or so items. Some minor points like a wheel lining was broken... And a new paint job for both doors, a new handbrake unit and a new clutch.

In total about £5,500 of work spotted by Bamford Rose. I knew the clutch was a bit iffy but I had believed it was a case of TADTS.

AML are now carrying out all of this work under warranty.

An excellent investment...

Hi John, mine too will be 3 years old in 2 months time. Does this level of warranty work needed not spur you on to extend your warranty beyond the 3 years?

For a car less than 3 yrs old,, they do seem to attract a lot of warranty work.

I wonder how much money Aston actually make from owners outside a warranty?

I too would like to know how much BR would charge for 'pre warranty expiry inspection'. My extended warranty expires in June next year and I don't intend to renew it, although with the warranty work its had so far, I reckon it's been cash neutral.
