Will an imported Rifter be under warranty?
Buying a used Peugeot Rifter in the UK. Reading online that warranty will not be honoured here in Ireland. Is this true or how can I find out?

What should be covered by a dealer warranty?
Hi,
I'm buying an Audi A6 (2010) from a Nissan garage. What should be covered by the garage guarantee? Is the garage responsible for checking for previous finance etc? Is there a way of extending the official Audi guarantee?
Thanks

Does Hyundai's warranty transfer to Ireland?
Hi,
I found your article on importing a car from UK very helpful, thanks. My question is, are there any issues regarding the manufacturer's warranty on imported cars? I'm considering purchasing a Hyundai in Northern Ireland and there is over three years left on the warranty; does this transfer without an issue when I bring car to the Republic?
Thanks

Is my Hyundai's gearbox under warranty?
In January I bought a 141 Hyundai privately with only 60,000 miles on the clock. The car has been stamped on the log book by independent garages (i.e. not Hyundai). Now my car's gearbox has gone and only time it mentions about gearbox servicing in servicing schedule is 96 months. I can understand servicing the engine wrong could bring faults, but as gearbox is a sealed unit not required servicing until 96 months I don't know why Hyundai is refusing to stand over my gearbox. It is saying that it was not properly serviced even though the gearbox was not due to be serviced.
Is this regular practice in your opinion?

Should Audi cover my A3 chain fix?
Hi,
I have a 2011 Audi A3 1.2 TFSI with 74,000km on the clock and am advised that engine noise means new timing chain and guides need to be replaced. This seems to be a problem with the A3 of this year. Should Audi cover the cost of the defective timing chain, parts and labour?
Thanks

Do warranties carry over from UK to Ireland?
If I import a car from the UK, do any manufacturers provide the balance of the new car warranty once the car has been re-registered here if the car is still in warranty in UK?
