Hyundai warranty - does it cover wear and tear?
A relative of mine has had the clutch fail on his Hyundai i20 after 8000 miles. He took the car back to the dealer, but a warranty claim was refused and he has been forced to pay £800 in repairs. Is this right? Surely the car’s warranty should pay for this?

This is standard throughout the motor trade. It's a wearing part like brake pads, brake discs and tyres. And if he set his mind to it, a driver could burn out a clutch in 15 minutes. That said, it is a known problem with i20s: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/hyundai/i20-2009/?se...d
