Sorry to alarm the poor fella, but if a car company in Australia can prove that it was the use of an after market part that led to the vehicles improper performance then they may dicline to fix the problem or in some cases have the warranty voided. As soon as an unregitered mechanic or owner touches a car during a contracted warranty period it can be voided. I am not saying that the leads have done anything to the car above but down here we would not risk it, when the car has been altered in anyway it is considered as tampering.

A friend of mine did not read his warranty contract and installed a performance exhaust a week before his three month running period (stated on the contract) had finished and the warranty was voided. Two months after this the ABS played up and the radiator sprung a leak.

Also our average warranty period is 60,000miles and you can in some cases extend this with a little extra cash.

All the best:flash:
