Rovers with the K series engine
Flat cap brigade kept buying them regardless as it was a Rover........
Don't get me started on Porsche warranties. How many engines blew up in the 996 and early 997 ranges (and the early V8 Cayennes). Thousands. And did Porsche ever accept it was their fault? No. They decided that their reputation for engineering excellence would out weigh the bad press, and so it proved. People carried on buying them anyway. Just don't be thinking that Porsche treated their clients with any more respect than most other manufacturers.
We know they are actively looking for any reason possible to refuse claims, even scouring forums including this one to find reasons not to pay out.
There's a big difference between an engine blowing up from IMS bearing failure out of warranty than a car which is in "warranty" having a claim for a major component failure being declined for whatever bullsh!t reason.
