Default Warranty items

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here could tell me, out of the following list what would be covered under extended warranty

Front bearings
Transmission Seal Leak
handbrake adjustments
Rotors

And also is the air filter meant to be changed at A services? Just got a few Q's about my latest service thats all. Armed with information from the public I shall pay my service rep a visit today

I think she may be out of warranty old mate.... generally extended warranties are worth nought when you try to claim something.

Most of your stardard warranty's only stipulate that it has to be mechanical parts as far as I know. which means half the stuff u listed wont be covered!
But that was only when I last bought a car from a car yard. And that was about 8 years ago!
You will really have to read your warranty conditions , if you kept them!!

Transmission Seal Leak only. The others are wear and tear and not to be covered by extended warranty
