but you will invalidate any warranty if you cut off the original plug.


No you won't.

Where do people get these ideas?

Doesn't that rather depend on the wording of the warranty?

If I had altered a product and returned it under warranty, I might
expect some questions, or even a refusal.

A warranty is not the same as returning goods under the SOGA.

I'd expect cutting a plug off under DSR (as was called) to invite a
refusal to accept return.


Yes but DSR is just part of it, if you are returning a product because
it say has developed a fault then I wouldn't expect it to make a
difference (unless realted to the fault in some way)

But if you'd removed a perfectly standard mains plug, who is to say you
hadn't put 1000v on the bare wires?
