I am writing for my elderly parents, They drive a 05 opel astra bought from new and only has 36'000 km's on the clock always serviced with the main opel dealer in waterford, Today when driving there was a funny noise and they stopped the car, it wouldn't restart, the mechanic in opel waterford said he has never seen this in all his life but the oil pump stopped pumping, broke away went into the engine and cannot be repaired engine total write-off, as there is such low mileage and full service history do they have a leg to stand on as no warning light came on I feel they do but don't know next move, Why bother paying over the odds to service the car in a main dealer if the wipe there hands of it when there is a problem, Any advice

The car's well out of warranty, but i'd push the garage to apply for a goodwill gesture from Opel nonetheless.
