Warranty on parts, but have to get the car to the garage 2 hours away

Long story short, got a car from a dealer that is 2 hours drive from where we live - great price and extra benefit that new timing belt and water pump fitted on purchase.
Now 7 months later and the pump has a crack so leaking, local garage say it should be covered under new parts warranty, phoned dealer and it is, but to get it to them to have replaced, but say not to drive it so nerd recovery to get it there. It's going to cost about £230 to get it to them, which I feel unfair as to get it replaced locally it's £260. So either way I've got to pay out
they say I can't get it repaired locally despite the part being under warranty, anyone have any advice please?

How bad is the leak? Did they asked before stating not to drive it?
