well a little update on this! i rang scoobyworld to see what the situation was and they said that the 25 year warranty is non transferrable so as i didnt buy it there was nothing they could do! so then rang hayward and scott and they said if i send it down and pay the carriage they will weld it free of charge but the carriage is £20 each way. So do i send it to them or do i go elsewhere and get it welded? meant to add i dont have the piece thats broken of
