Hi all,

My two year old i10 has just broken the universal joint on the offside drive shaft , broke yesterday morning, no warning just went to drive away and bang.

The dealer took 60 pounds from me to tow the i10 two miles to the dealership and says he will fix the u/j under warranty.

I'm surprise the failure has happened as the i10 has only covered just over 8,000 miles from new in the two years and has been driven carefully in this time.

Do you guys think I can claim the 60 pounds back?

As it is clearly a manufacturing fault in that mileage I would say that , morally, you have a very good claim.

However you will probably find that recovery is not covered by the warranty and considering the standard of
Customer Service it would probably be between you and the garage. So, have a go and Good Luck!
