Or at least anything I seem to have to claim for.
My MH came with a 3 year insurance backed warranty included.
Just before my first trip to France at the end of June I tried the air-con in the cab and it wasn`t working. Took it to have it re-gassed and they found a leak in a metal pipe that runs from the front of the radiator to a compressor. Total cost £230.
No problem I thought, warranty booklet says "All electrical and mechanical components fitted as part of the manufacturers original specification" are covered. Looked through exclusions and nothing about air-con or pipes, but although it gives examples such as wiper blades, tyres, hoses, clutch facings etc, it does say that it is not a comprehensive list.
So I telephone, explain the problem and the guy says "Ah, sorry, we don`t cover pipes". When I pushed him, he said, well if it is sort of `welded` on we would cover it. Had the job done and the garage rang them also, had a discussion with their technicion but they still wouldn`t have it. They said, if the compressor had gone, that would be covered, the garage said but what is a compressor other than a bunch of pipes welded together. Still no joy.
Oh well, it`s what I have come to expect, at least it was included in the deal and I didn`t have to pay for it.
Worst part is the weather in France was so shite we never even turned the air-con on.
