I've mentioned on a previous post that I'm getting a noise at biting point from clutch when pulling off in 1st gear only and I'm thinking its possibly a clutch release bearing. I've read stories online of dealers refusing to change this part under warranty as it's wear and tear and various other cock and bull stories. Where do I stand here if this is the problem with the car, it will be 2 years old on 7th July and has 30,500 miles on the clock. The service book states that the clutch disk is covered for 24 months or 60,000 miles* excludes wear and tear. The car belonged to a car hire company before I bought it with 13,000 mile on clock, I don't think that should affect the warranty though.
