Oh and the replacement/repairs should be warranted as is new... Thats what I'd call Consumer Rights (rather than what we now seem to have; 'Manufacturer Rights', and what ever happend to Seller responsibilities, let alone things like from Amazon, doubly let alone from Market place (who took your money..)).I don't think you understand the Consumer Rights Act.The remedy is with the retailer, not the manufacturer.1 -

So any rights have to be tempered with age.
What you are wanting will see prices skyrocket as companies will need to cover this. Especially on cars, where you could just abuse it & they start a claim.Life in the slow lane0
