Subject to the following conditions, all Ivor Searle reman engines are guaranteed for 12 months, unlimited mileage, against faulty workmanship and defective materials.

  1. Damage occurring as a result of a failure of any ancillary parts (e.g. cooling system, fuel system, turbo charger/exhaust & ignition system components) is not covered by this guarantee, nor are the ancillary parts themselves.
  2. This guarantee is applicable to mainland United Kingdom and Northern Ireland only. Additional insurance cover is advisable when travelling abroad with the vehicle.
  3. That a 500 mile service is carried out when the oil and oil filter are changed. N.B. - only use the type and grade of oil recommended by the original engine manufacturer. The tappets, where they are manually adjustable, should be checked and reset as necessary. Where applicable check cooling, fuel and ignition system as well as auxiliary drive belts. Ensure there are no oil, water or fuel leaks. Throughout the duration of this Warranty the vehicle should be serviced in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. The service record at the back of this booklet should be completed at each service. Any necessary repairs or maintenance (whether covered by this Warranty or not) should be carried out as soon as is practicable and without further detriment to the condition of the engine. All ancillary parts should always be maintained in good order.
  4. Any modifications undertaken without the written consent of Ivor Searle Limited will invalidate this Warranty.
  5. This Warranty only covers the vehicle when in use on public paved roads and does not apply in marine situations, competition, race or speed trials. If the vehicle is to be used for towing, then this must only be done within the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  6. This Warranty will not cover any defect, damage or breakdown resulting from misuse, negligence or collision.
  7. This Warranty will not apply if the repair is necessitated simply as a result of fair wear and tear.
  8. If a remanufactured engine is replaced under the terms of this Warranty, the replacement engine will be covered for the balance of the original guarantee.
  9. This Warranty is transferable provided all terms and conditions stated are adhered to.
  10. This Warranty does not cover towing, recovery, re-delivery or any consequential costs incurred (e.g. replacement/short term hire vehicle, overnight accommodation etc).
  11. If any material facts are withheld, false or fraudulent reports and/or claims are made, then this Warranty shall become void. In this event, any payments that have been made by Ivor Searle Limited will be repayable forthwith.
  12. Agents, distributors or 3rd party suppliers trading in or selling Ivor Searle Limited’s goods have no right or authority to bind in any way nor to assume on Ivor Searle Limited’s behalf, any obligations.
  13. No variation or modification to the terms of this Warranty shall be valid or binding unless it is in writing and signed by an authorised employee of Ivor Searle Limited.
  14. The vehicle owner is responsible for the costs of maintenance items replaced during Warranty repairs.
  15. This Warranty is valid and effective only if all terms and conditions (including the Repairs Procedure) are fully complied with.
  16. Nothing in the above Warranty affects the customer’s statutory rights.
  17. Ivor Searle Limited reserves the right to amend the terms and conditions of this Warranty from time to time without prior notification.
