UK Advice On My Corolla, Avoiding Voiding warranty

I recently moved over from the UK and got myself a Corolla, I Just joined the forum and i've seen many mod's being done to Corollas and i want to get started on mine in the next month or so, but I'm under warranty and I'm trying not to void it.

What can/cannot be done to my Corolla, I have a 2010 S, with a manual transmission.

Thanks Guys,

Vinny

Ugh this again.

Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuso...s_Warranty_Act

Basically, you cannot be denied warranty unless the issue you have is directly related to the installation and failure of an aftermarket piece of equipment.

you can do anything you want, but any issues caused by Mod X will void the warranty for Part X that is having issues.

IE... You drop the car and the car doesn't ride right because of it. You're on your own.

just be careful and do it right and you will be fine.

to TN!

UK Thank You

Thanks for your help guys, i'm sorry to sound like such a noob, but i'm still trying to get used to the way things work over here, my experience with the dealership was great and i took it for it's first service last week and they were very helpful, but I was warned to be careful and not take anything they say as solid word.

Anyway Cheers guys!

Vinny

Guys, keep in mind he is in the UK. Laws maybe different than North America, so don't be so sure about the warranty issue. O.P, you better check with your dealership or local laws.

Rules in Mexico are the complete opposite as an example, so its a good idea to call your closest Toyota dealer and ask them directly.

Here in Mexico when ever a mod or non authorized Toyota part or an authorized Toyota part not installed by Toyota is installed anything it touches looses warranty,

UK VVt-i

I gotta say i fell in love with this corolla guys they don't sell them in the UK, but they really should, I previously drove a dodge neon throughout my highschool years, which really threw me off of the whole 4 cylinder bandwagon, after driving this corolla i now realize the HUGEEEEEEEE Difference in quality between Japanese and American cars.

I Love the USA but the cars are awfully made =S



THanks again for all of your advice,

Vinny

For the record, where was your Corolla made? Canada or USA? Nowadays, the quality is closer, especially for the Corolla.

not much if you buy the car in the US but if you get it in Canada it will have nicer features .....somewhat.

they dont have this model in the UK?......I mean the sedan?
I know they have the corolla verso because jeremy clarkson drove one when his ford GT wouldn't start
