Hi I bought a car 2020 Vauxhall Astra from evans Halshaw in April 2022 with 7000 miles on the clock. In October of 2022 I had problems getting the car into first gear and took it to Evans Halshaw who diagnosed the car and said it needed a new engine which was covered under warranty, they had my car for 2 weeks and the engine was replaced car had only done 10,000 miles.
Car passed first mot this year in January no advisory’s, serviced last month. On Saturday I was on the motorway when I light on the dash appeared saying Engine reduced power, I pulled off at services and engine management light came on. Took car back to garage on Tuesday and they now say it needs a new turbo at a cost to me of £2500 as it isn’t now under warranty. The car hasn’t even done 16000 miles now. What do I do surely the car isn’t fit for purpose- evans Halshaw will not do any thing. My car is on finance with Halifax- black horse. I have contacted them by telephone to reject who have 56 days to investigate. Do I drive the car? How can I go with no car for 2 months, I really don’t know what to do but surely I have some legal rights ? Thanks for any help you suggest I’m really desperate
