i was under the impression that the warranty lasts for 3 years when the car is made so after 3 years you are able to remap it and it wont be under warranty

Indeed. At least, that's the case with my Leon. Has about 9 months left of the 3 years of warranty.

Glad I have the warranty :s

so after my car is 3 years old and has had its 3 year m.o.t. would i be ok to have a map as mine is a 59 reg ibiza

Mot is entirely separate from warranty.

But yes after your warranty period is over, it's all your own responsibility.
You can have it remapped as much as you want without affecting warranty...because you won't have one. Not on the engine anyway.
Granted, if it breaks...the bill is all yours :)

If you map car during the 3yr warranty, engine warranty is null and void. However, after 3years from new, the warrant no longer exists and you can do whatever you want. As said, if something goes wrong, then you will pick up the tab (mapped or not). Might as well get it mapped.
