Has anybody experience of taking a car manufacturer to the small claims court for failing to discharge their warranty.

In this case year 3 of a 5 year manufacturer warranty, the issue is inside the engine, they are looking for a service history which I can provide from various independent garages using original oils/filters/ plugs etc however anecdotally I have been told this manufacturer will do most anything to avoid full payment for repair.
 
What ever you do, do't get suckered into using the SIMI arbitration process. It is heavily biased in favour of the dealers.

Why are you dealing with the manufacturer, your contract is with the dealer you bought from?
