I have a small rust bubble, around the size of a 5p piece so I went to Bromley MB to see if my car could be dune under the 8 year rule.
After they measured the paint thickness and took images of the area, I was asked to open the car for them to record the mileage. When I unlocked the car, he said he thinks I have a problem as the sound the alarm made was not of a UK origin car.
Turns out my car was purchased from Netherlands so is not included in the 8 year anti rust guarantee.
They said that I could try taking my claim to MB as they may be sympathetic and will hold onto the details in case they are requested, but they said to not get my hopes up..
Email sent, fingers crossed lol
