Doo,
Can follow you there but for instance you order a part, fit that and 364 days later it breaks and will be replaced under warranty.
Because you collect it on the Friday, you can only fit it on the Monday which is 367 days or a couple days more then 1 year. And then that parts fails the following day.
Not right, is it?
Like I said before, you do have the warranty issue but you also have the "expected life span" and that's where you want to play on. Go on, you'll make it. Just kick enough fuss and don't take no for an answer. Id didn't but it took me about 4 months to get it in the end.
