So, is it:
Lease on life
or
Lease of life
?
As in, a new one.

I've only ever heard new lease on life. Of course, that only makes it correct in my eyes.

I would only say "lease on"
"I have a one-year lease on my Lexis"
"The landlord cancelled the lease on my apartment"
I can think of no context in which I would say "lease of"
Cheers,

Will they replace defective parts?
'Fraid not--there's no warranty. You can of course purchase a warranty (it's called Health Insurance), but even it never covers all possibilities.
