Your first post suggests that you haven't yet spoken to DCC regarding work that was carried out in April 2012, nearly 3 years ago.
You are asking members to tell you what DCC's warranty is (only DCC and your associated paperwork can answer that) and also for opinions on faults which may or may not be relevant to the makeover.
I note you became a member of DISCO3 on 15 Jan 2015, quite some years after becoming a D3 owner.
As such I am wondering what the purpose of your post is.
Had you asked for opinions on faults without mentioning DCC, I would not feel as uncomfortable as I do now.
Perhaps you should contact DCC and not post anymore until you hav, e to save embarrassment to yourself and DCC.
Apologies I I have got it wrong.

Just read some of the other replies, I agree with Martin.
You did not originally say that a previous owner had the work done. You cannot say that he or someone else didn't cause the fault, the more I read, and you have been economical with the facts, the less comfotable I feel with your post.

I think this is very misunderstood.
I bought the car from a guy privately who had the upgrade done by the company. A week later I noticed the problems. Being new to owning a D3 I thought I'd see if anybody could help with sorting out the issues I found with the lights. While searching for info I saw the one site sponsor was the same company who did the upgrade t my D3. So before I give them a call about the issues on my D3 I just wanted to get some advise on what everybody thought.
I'm not trying to bad mouth anybody or make anybody look bad, just looking for advice
I'd follow Robbo's advice, should be simple fixes
Technically the gripe lies between yourself and the seller of the vehicle. You have zero contract with the people who did the upgrades

Shouldn't have mentioned site sponsor then!
By the way I have no connection, affiliation or otherwise with them, in fact never heard of them previously.
I just have a naturally suspicious nature, I am in business and if this scenario happened to me then I wouldn't be looking at a claim with any sympathy at all.
As the contract for the work was not with you, unless the warranty was transferable, DCC have no liability whatsoever.

So you bought a car a few days ago but you are intent in pursuing a company that worked on the car years ago for faults you have only just noticed?
Seems a bit harsh.
The vehicle will have been MoT'd a few times since so we can presume the relevant lights were checked then. We can also presume the vehicle has been serviced a few times since too. Occam's Razor suggests these faults are probably more recent than the original work.
If you had found poor workmanship on the vehicle specific to the modification than you have a reason to be disgruntled. But you are far from confirming that so the discussion regarding this particular company seems rather unfair.
Buying such a heavily modified car should have had your eyes on stalks when it came to buying the vehicle. Checking electrics and lights is pretty basic stuff even if you didn't feel the need for a professional inspection.
I really don't like to see members having issues with their vehicles but you have walked into these problems. I'm sure the membership will try to help you but you should be careful not to pin this issue on anyone but yourself. You have bought an old car that has been heavily modified from standard without conducting proper checks - this carries risk.

Got the fog light working now just the reverse lights. Checked the bulb and the fuse and all good. Any other options?

Power and ground checks at the lamp connector (it shares the same ground as the stop lamp, so if that works the ground should be good); then check for power at the fuse and confirm that the car recognises that reverse has been selected. You should also hear the click of the relay in the central junction box when reverse is selected.

Yes sorry I did manage to do it with the reverse and low range calibration. Reverse light work, rear sensors engage automatically and the side mirrors angle down so I can see the side wheels. It's awesome and so easy.
