Car finance with a faulty car

[Fezzy24]

Hi I was wondering if I could have some advice please to help me with my dad's problem,

My dad bought a focus 1litre eco boost on finance, 8 weeks into having it on the way work the engine died, and this was on the 3rd December, paid £140 to have the car recovered home, kept ringing the dealership where it was purchased and was constantly told the manager was busy, contacted the finance company and was told take the car a garage for a diagnostic, so another £110 for a garage to recover and diagnose since the car wouldn't start garage quoted £6k for new engine, labour and vat, dealership received a copy of the quote and said they would repair it because it would cost them less,

Now the dealership where the car was bought has had the car for 3 weeks now and still not even ordered a new engine

Where does he stand being without a car for 3 months, not offered a courtesy car yet still paying for something that's not able to be used plus all the extra fees on top?

The following is provided your dad is defined as a consumer under the act. He only used the car for social, domestic and pleasure and to drive it to his main place of work and back home.
Under CRA 2015 your dad now has the legal right to reject the car (final right to reject within 6 months of the date of delivery) and ask for a refund of monies paid under the finance agreement.
Your dad was right to give the finance company a chance to repair the car but they have caused unreasonable delay and inconvenience.
Your dad should write to the finance company (copy to the dealer) and state he is rejecting the car under the Consumer Regulations Act 2015 and that he expects a full refund within 14 days and the finance agreement to be cancelled
