Are these items covered under warranty?
I bought a SEAT Ibiza earlier this year.
I had to bring it back to the garage for screeching in the brakes, they replaced the pads but now I am told that the discs are gone; should they not have seen this? Also, are they covered under warranty? Is air conditioning covered under warranty as it turns out the gas is gone on this as well?

Is a write-off still under warranty?
I bought a 2019 Citroen Dispatch Van in the UK with 6,000 miles on it. Had light frontal damage (a wing and a headlight), but was recorded as a category S. I bought the wing and headlamp off Citroen and got the vehicle repaired by an approved body shop. The radio is not working correctly (a common fault) and a sensor went in the exhaust. Citroen refuses to do it under warranty because it's category S. By law can it refuse to do this work? I will get an engineer's report if required but it won't make a difference. In fairness, the dealership is willing to do it but Citroen won't honour it.

Is my UK Toyota warranty ok in Ireland?
Hi,
I recently purchased a 2018 Toyota Yaris hybrid from a used dealer, which was a UK import and I changed my registration to Ireland. The car has a five-year warranty; is this applicable in Ireland?
Thanks

Will servicing elsewhere affect my warranty?
Will my warranty be affected by not using a main dealer to service my car bought second hand from a small dealer? The car is a 182-reg Hyundai i10.

Will a Toyota warranty be ok on an import?
I am importing a 2017 Toyota Avensis 1.6 Business Diesel from the UK to Ireland. There is a seven-year manufacturer's warranty on the car. Does this transfer to the Republic of Ireland?

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?
