Warranty advice please...

First post here, so please be gentle with me.
I purchased a new-old-stock 2009 Orange Evo 8 in July this year, mail order, from a dealer in the south west. I live in the north west.
The Rock Shox Recon SL air forks weren't right from out of the box. I sent them to the importers, with a warranty returns number from the supplying dealer. The forks eventually came back to me, via the dealer. They've now failed again - same fault as before (collapsing when ridden, not rebounding). I reckon the bike has done around 30 miles in total.
How do I stand with regards warranty? Having had the forks repaired once, I'm reluctant to get them 'fixed' again. Am I entitled to ask for a new pair? I don't want to reject the whole bike - I've probably owned it too long now anyway (albeit unrideable) - because the rest of it is great!
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

One of the problems with mail order bikes....
They'll still be under warranty so the bike shop should deal. If you are not happy with their service give Orange a call direct.
Supersonic will be along shortly to dispense some wise advice on your rights as a buyer.0 -
Sounds like a damper problem they failed to rectify. I would ask them to replace the whole faulty part, and if it fails again, insist on a replacement,0
