    You need to get the document policy "taxed" that is read by a legal expert in contract law.
    They will soon tell you if you are covered and if you are you can write and give them fair opportunity to perform the repair and if they decline, take it to the main dealer, get it fixed and sue the warranty company for the value.
    Start by getting the document taxed, could be the best £50 you ever spend plus you can claim that back as well if you are covered.

    Thanks for that, Trading standards did say the wording of the warranty is crucial...

    Thanks for the info, I assume you mean it's watertight for the dealer's benefit...

    - Yeah so I've found, just makes me wonder what is the point of the warranty. The steering system is listed under coverage, but when it comes to making a claim, oh that part is not covered...

    The point of these warranties is to protect the dealer. He does have an obligation to sell you a car fit for purpose.

    Yeah, I know, the car dealer claims directly from the warranty company for the cost of the repair.

    Anyway, decided to go back to Co-Op Motor Group after they increased their contribution to the cost of the replacement electronic steering motor.

    Better to have a brand new part fitted than a re-conditioned one which looked like the only affordable option...
