True, VHI should dispute the charge with Blackrock though, not bill the customer who had no control over it (or let Blackrock bill the customer in this case). They do enough business with private hospitals like the Blackrock Clinic to have the pull to get a charge for an unnecessary overnight stay like this waived.
I suggest there should be a standard minimum warranty period for all cars, although 10 might be pushing it. I have a Toyota and while it's renowned as a very reliable car, the warranty is a very small 3 years/100000km. Renault is 5 years/150k. BMW appears to be 3 years/unlimited kilometerage. Mitsubishi 8 years/150km. Etc.
Manufacturer warranties are in addition to your statutory rights which apply across all brands.
6 years generally.
The ASAI is in no way, shape, or form a consumer representative body so I don't really see the relevance of it to this thread?
Membership fees, magazine sales, and government funding at one stage?
What exactly do you mean by this?
You just need to get an independent review, there are multiple companies and specialists offering that service. The Small Claims Court is then your friend should the dealer not comply with their obligations.
I suspect the length of the warranty is inversely proportionate to their perceived reliability.
Yeah, an independent review would only come into it if the dealer refused to act as patfert1 was suggesting.
I can't see from this that that's their function/remit.

The CCPC is the statutory body empowered under the legislation though. The ASAI has no legal enforcement power, they can only ask an advertiser to withdraw or amend false or misleading advertising, where the advertiser fails to comply they can only issue a public censure. For enforcement, they refer complaints to the CCPC.
