Some of you will know I am having a real problem getting BMW to honour their corrosion warranty :headbang: :thumbsdown: I would like to contact the motoring press to highlight this problem but as I don't read much of the motoring press or visit the websites other than this one, I have no idea where to start. Any tips or advice would be appreciated :thumbsup:

I've done their Twitter account and are talking via DM now. I want to put as much pressure as I can on them :thumbsup:
 
Auto Express have a page each week ,they usually get some success with a claim when the owner has been fobbed off.You have nothing to lose by giving them a call.

What's the total value? If you win the costs are added on, up to £1k is only £60 to issue.

Having had a dispute with Tastecard that was going round in circles after 5 letters I issued a claim, the day it arrived they called to settle.

I've a friend who works for trading standards who's going to take a look for me plus was advised by a friend to file in the small claims court which is cheap.

The repair bill is £3100 for a new roof and I believe small claims limit is 5k
 
You'd not be claiming for that amount but to enforce the warranty I would think. Small claims is the same court just a different track, cheaper because no lawyers!

I think you have a case but for what could be quite a bill you'll need some impartial advice. Most likely BMW will settle if you play hard ball.
