Answer 1

a multi national supplier of low mileage s\h low mileage japanese and other continential engines gives 12 months and normal mileage on under 25 k miles engines. from my experence about 90 days guarantee would be normal for breakers engine.

Answer 2

that's about right, just make sure its OK, check the oil, put your RAC card in your pocket and give it a 2 hour run down the motorway at about 70 or so. watch the oil and water on the dash, make sure that it is maintaining oil pressure and water temperature at the right level. watch carefully for fluctuations

let it stand idling, make sure the fan cuts in. get your multimeter on the battery and make sure it charges and stops charging when the battery is full. listen to it, does it idle smoothly? watch the tachometer if you have one, modern engines should idle at ~ 800-1000 revs, does it?

listen to the engine, especially when you start it from cold, rattles or knocks?

when you have the engine warm sit in the car and rapidly accelerate the engine, don't race it, just listen as it revs, make sure its firing evenly on all cylinders, i find its easier to hear when its accelerating.

look underneath it when its been stood at night, is anything leaking?

if you see anything on any of the above points that gives you concern take it back, if they won't do anything take it to a recognised garage asap, get a *written and dated* diagnosis/quote. this gives you some good firm ground to stand on if you end up having to take the garage to court.

I reckon it should be, unless there is any reason why you cannot take your car out for a test drive within 30 days. If you take it out for a drive and there appears to be something wrong, take the garantee back and tell them the engine is faulty.
