Strange isn't it that we forget that under UK law guarantee used to be 5

You've had things repaired or replaced under that UK 6 year warranty?

Without taking the company to court?

A few years ago, when a work colleague had a TV fail after 3 years, the
shop and manufacturer refused to do anything. I told him to quote the
sale of goods act. The shop then insisted on an assessment by a 3rd
party, once they had that, they replaced the TV and refunded the
consultion fee.
