It is totally irrelevant, Drivel doesn't know his 'sale of goods' laws -
no surprise there...


The bit in all guarantees that says "this does not effect your statutory
rights" says it all really..
No manufacturers guarantee currently gives you more rights than you have
under the sale of goods act that I know of.
The only thing you can say is that its probably cheaper for the manufacturer
to fix the goods than it is for the retailer to fix them and then pass on
the charges plus admin to the manufacturer.
You can use that as a bargaining chip if you want a manufacturers service
guy to come and fix an out of warrantee item.
