It never ceases to amaze me that when individuals make a statement like 'my car cost xyz ....and I expect it to work' and yet if they were buying a newly built house, costing enormous sums, they accept the process of snagging, to make poor workmanship right, even though by comparison the complexities of the two examples are poles apart.

I have to disagree with you there DG. If I pay 5 bucks I expect 5bucks worth, but having said that look at NASA's budget and occasionally things go wrong. I also believe that as usual Land Rover are way ahead of the game and on the next generation of vehicles from other manufacturers you will see Landy technology

Don't get me wrong CW...so do I .....but in reality, life is not generally like that and it all boils down to the individuals acceptance level of what can go wrong with products and services and should fault materialise, how long it would take to fix or be replaced.

In my experience of building contracts the process of snagging after completion is thoroughly routine ...so this is an acceptance, from the outset, that things won't be right.... ...and these have been multi-million £ builds.

I just thought it interesting that some peeps (and I'm not suggesting you Oliver) appear to accept it in one scenario but not the other
