Service Items Worth Doing - And Carplan Extended Warranty?

[UH-Matt]

Car is in for a service...

1. Noticed fuel cap doesnt always open first touch, takes 3-4 presses of the button. Aston say the cable is ceased or broken on it, £115 to fix, They doubt its covered under extended warranty - surely it would be?!

2. Air Con Service... Recommended every 2 years, ~£100, worth doing? My Air con works fine...

3. Tracking is 3mm out apparently, £100 to do the tracking, seems steep??

Well my tyres have hardly warn and are wearing EXTREMELY well and evenly, also I just had an MOT done 3 weeks ago (Not at AM) and they did not flag up tracking as an issue at all...

Regarding the fuel cap thingy, my car is just out of manufacturer and into the aston extended warranty, which he says probably wont cover the fuel cable wearing or snapping, I have told him to put it to the warranty people (I am extending at £1099 at the same time!).

Im going to just ask them to grease the fuel flap. It can't be a broken cable as most the time it works, just occasionally I have to press the button 2 or 3 times to make it pop open.

The other things I can get done easily elsewhere.

Thanks!

Thought I would update you, Grange Welwyn got me sorted with the new fuel cap cable covered under extended warranty. They also fixed a few other bits and bobs for me (small minor annoyances rather than faults ) and I pick her up tomorrow, so far service excellent!

Nothing serious and mostly things I have had fixed in the past already... the odd squeek and rattle, handbrake adjusted as the light didnt always go off first time you take the handbrake off...

I made a thread several months ago on some warranty fixes I had done as I like to make sure anything that can be done has been done on my car
