engine warranty help

im after anyones help or experience in claiming on an engine warranty.

I purchased a citroen relay 3 months ago it had a replacement engine fitted by the engine doctor at a cost of £2094
the mileage was 75,312 and this was done on the 18/1/2014
the engine failed on Monday eve after the cam chain jumped a tooth and fooked the engine
the mileage is currently 76,800 so its done very little mileage since the replacement engine was fitted

I have a warranty for 12 months given to me by the previous owner

I have emailed the company tonight.

so im guessing that the company will try and wriggle out of a claim
does a change of owner affect the warranty? theres nothing in t&cs

tia

T&C's should state all exclusions and excemptions or reference to where they are stated such as a specific contract so you should be ok.......but you're probably right and wriggling has already begun

that sounds interesting I believe I do on both..

the tel number for the company is out of use and it seems they were investigated by trading standards
there is a proposal to strike off whatever that means

and there accounts are overdue and there capital is £100
according to companys house

the company is called the engine doctor in march Cambridgeshire.

can I claim thru my insurance for engine failure?
