Got a 20 plate 1.3 two weeks ago from main dealer. Having read all this I'm absolutely terrified it will happen. Cars only got 20k on it and been regularly serviced etc. I've been in touch with the dealer asking about this as I have a one year warranty with option to extend. If a new fault free par...
