PLI aside the law is on the side of the consumer, so for example you buy parts for your car (new or 2nd hand) and a garage fits them, said parts fail and in the eyes of the law the garage are responsbible.
This is why many will tell you to swivel Mr. Green


This too, rightly or wrongly...

United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Siberian SilverDiscovery 3

Many moons ago Stratstones did a health check on mine. All rubbish and none of it needed doing. I would ask for the evidence and take it from there. Or get a good indie to check it over. JLR seem to try and dodge helping owners with warranty issues / known faults so the good will you may have had by having a full JLR work / service history is pretty meaningless.

I would buy any parts required from sponsor Advanced Factors and have an indie fit them and do the other work that is required. Thumbs Up


Just double check before purchasing parts.

Our PLI does not cover us for fitting customer supplied parts, and I know many other garages who are in the same position...


My local place is quite happy to fit and guarantee bits he sources but says it's a ball-ache when something fails he didn't source and customer is middleman dealing with parts supplier. He also points out his discount with suppliers often means getting parts through him is no dearer than getting them yourself.

I'm also happy to fit and warrant any parts I supply and fit, as well as being legally obliged to

A big selection of our parts even come with a 24 month warranty
