I've had a reply from Amazon.co.uk that backs up what you said Rob...

Dear Customer

Thank you for writing to Amazon.co.uk.

I have checked with the concerned department and according to them,
the warranty will be covered for a year. If Manufacturer doesn't
cover it for a full year then we will deal with any problems that may
occur during the first year.

Thank you for your interest in Amazon.co.uk.

Please let us know if this e-mail answered your question:

So thats good to know. Looks like I can send it back to Amazon within the first year.

Should I start a new topic just stating the UK warranty is 12 months as people may get the wrong idea if they were just browsing the topics ???

Cheers

Cris.
