Just been on local BBC news that Avondale have laid off all staff after trying to find a buyer for the company.

Cannot find further details as yet but it is confirmed that Avondale is no longer they have ceased trading today.

All staff have been laid off ....

There is no mention yet on their website

OMG! I just left a message on Caravan heading, asking the same thing.  Ours is due for its second service end of October, few snags going on, that we thought we'd leave till its service.  Ours is a 2007 (bought end of October).  I'm absolutely pig sick. 

My local service workshop said in a public notice that they're trying to honour warranty work, but I'll have to ring them in the morning about our van.  Here's hoping they do it, otherwise we're screwed.

Hi Avonman, answered your reply on the other thread! I wonder what Carafit would charge for a warranty (I said in the other reply that they are considering doing one)

OH is wondering if there's any point getting ours serviced this year.  We only "had" 12 months warranty left and its permanently sited. He was thinking we could get it serviced every other year, to save a couple of quid. 

I originally said I would get it serviced annually even outside the warranty to keep the resale value up, but if the water-ingress warranty has gone down the drain then it would be impossible to sell it anyway - even if we wanted to.

Any thoughts?
