leigh_boy Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 they said it was because of the low fuel level and running the crap from the bottom of the tank Utter, utter bobbins. That's exactly what a fuel filter prevents! That's an outright lie, plain and simple. I did try and cancel the transation right there but they said nothign was wring with the car. ps it had failed the mot on the engine light being on and the airbag light. but i understand the air bag light is a common issue.

Ekona Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Please, next time you buy a car make sure it's actually correct before you drive it away. Whilst I don't condone their actions, you have made it incredibly easy for them to take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you're going to need to invest a little bit of money (which you'll probably lose) to get this sorted. Get a solicitor to give you some advice and to write you a letter. Obvs you can do this yourself but I'm thinking your concerned by their 'legal team' (seriously how bad is your garage to have a legal team!!) so show them you mean business and clout them with the same thing. Dan will probs disagree as he knows pretty much for certain what you are and aren't entitled to and how cheaply you can realistically do it. For me id want some reassurance from a legal bod. This is 10 grand we're talking about at the end of the day. It's not buttons. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk I hear you, i guess i should let them give me there diagnosis before i look at getting some one else involved. e.g wait for them to accept it has a problem ( i doubt they will) or 2 they say it has no problem. i keep saying to them are they returnign the car when done ect and get nothgn back its reallyyy annoying,. the one thing i dont want to do is pay for legal and then have to pay for a rebuild. Im selling my house and thats why i bought the 350 in the first place but i didn't intend to spend the equity (20k) on rebuilding the car and purchasing it i purchased on credit card to protect my self and i do need to buy another house after the break up with the mrs is over.. grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Maybe Im missing something here but whats stopping you just taking the car to them, giving them the keys and a letter of rejection and telling them you expect the money to be back in your bank account within 7 days? Forget everything else, if it failed MoT on the airbag light then you can return it and walk into the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Airbag light not on anymore? Thats a fault and no denying. Alternatively get an emissions check done on it, if the oil is coming out of the exhaust then this should prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc's right, I would get it back to them with a final letter and request a refund or else go to court. And I would follow through with that threat as well: It's easy enough to do, and they're not going to challenge it I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Arguably, no. According to your first post, you notified them twice within the 30-day period that the product was faulty and they did not help out. As such, I believe you fulfilled your end of the CRA and can return the car now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS just said aload of spill to me, basicaly confirmed that i need them to accept there is a fault before i refuse the car or i have to have a alternative dispute team deal / take it to court. that a side how does one prove the oil use with out saying take it for a drive for 200 miles.

Ekona Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I would suspect they'd know more than me, but I don't think they're correct at all. You've already proven the oil usage, so what more are you supposed to do? No, I'd be dropping it off n their doorstep and asking for my refund ASAP else you'll see them in court.
