MX5 layshaft?

[supernan]

I puchased an MX5 Jasper Conran in 2001 and for the 1st 3 years I had it serviced by the Mazda dealers. The next 2 services were performed by a guy recommended by the MX5 owners club, who was a good deal closer & somewhat cheaper.I noticed a whiring sound (nothing to do with the service I might add) so took it back to the dealers, who told me that it was the lay shaft or 1st shaft and would cost little short of �800!!! Bearing in mind at this time the car had only done 19000 miles from new. It was the most expensive MX5 that Mazda had produced, a Jasper Conran special.. I was told I had no redress with Mazda because they hadn't serviced it the last 2 times. I am a young ar heart pensioner & I love the car, I had it when I retired, I find it a little unfair & it would be difficult to find the money, I have written to Mazda but drew a blank!! Any advice would be welcome.
