Gamestation replace broken 360?

Seems that all my Forza problems are a portent of doom.

Really not keen on sending away for a manky refurb.

What are the chances of Gamestation giving me a new one (was bought last
September) or am I likely to get a "f*** off and send it to MS" after
driving 30 miles to the store?

If they do get on the phone to your nearest trading standards office - you
bought the 360 from them, not MS direct, so the contract was with
gamestation.

GS are under no obligation to give a replacement, and have the option to
send it themselves to MS.

Would there be any issues with XBLA stuff and DLC if I put the existing HDD
on a different console?

If the console changes but the HDD remains the same, the DLC will still work
provided that the profile is signed into XBL. If you swap the console and
don't sign in to XBL, your DLC is unavailable. You can get MS to fix this if
you need to change the console.

I was in my local GS the other day and someone was getting a replacement.
He was told to bring only the 360 and not all the cables. He was then given
a new 360 from a new box. So it will be worth ringing them first to see
what you need to take in.

GameStation are legally required to replace or repair the unit.

Yes, but it is up to them which they do, not you. While i am all for chasing
stores to fulfill their SOGA obligations, unless the store is willing to do
a straight swap, you are likely to have a much quicker turnaround going
direct to MS.
