My new Vauxhall Corsa's brakes are making a strange noise - will it be repaired under warranty?
I just bought a 59-plate Vauxhall Corsa with 2000 miles. It seems a nice car and is a 1.4 Design, but when driving in low gears there is a grinding squeal-like noise coming from the front brakes. Will the brakes be included in the warranty and what should I ask the dealer to do?

Check your warranty paperwork (it should come with all the handbooks and paperwork you got when you bought the car) and see what it covers, as not all manufacturers have the same warranty cover. If you're still not sure, contact Vauxhall UK customer services - their details will be on the Vauxhall website at www.vauxhall.co.uk. This does sound like something the dealer should be able to sort out easily and under warranty.

Solid and decently equipped. Reasonable handling and some frugal engines.
