[DUG] [Off Topic]Warranty expired

[Paul A Norman]

Hi,

I am not sure whether this was fully covered in the rest of the thread
(couldn't see it in a quick scan) but

  " So under the Consumer Guarantees Act I’m confident they should repair
it. "

Would not necessarily help you if you were using it for business.

You would probably need to look under the Fair Trading Act et al, if you
purchased it for business. Check with a Citizens Advice bureau if you have
no tame lawyer in tow :)
