My local Vx is 65 an hour (+Vat).

And a decent indy should not be much over 50 (+Vat) an hour.

So, should do it for 500.

an there lies the problem!

IMO print the oil cooler guide off from maintenance and give it whoever does the work. Even vx. Let the warranty company worry over the bil, that's down to then.

This sad story has a happy ending !! Despite all you harbingers of doom saying warranties arent worth a cr~p .. heres one that is .. The AA Breakdown Repair Warranty costs me about £3 a month and has just sent me a cheque for £475 toward the repair .. it was the oil cooler, but also the rad had split and the contaminated water/oil mix had to be spooned out by hand so the labour was a little more than normal. The total cost was £725 . I waited about a week for the cheque ... good service ?   Damn right !!  The better news is , I can claim up to 6 times a year.
ANYONE WITH A 100K MILES PLUS CAR SHOULD CHECK IT OUT !!
Thanks to all who offerd advice ... gratefully accepted.
