I purchased a car from a dealership on 23rd January, with 3 months warranty full MOT and just been serviced.
At the start of March a warning light appeared, I call the garage and visited them numberous times told it was nothing much and they would book it into their garage. Heard nothing. The car broke down on my way to work on 8th March, I had to pay for it to be towed to there garage which they looked at and replaced the Headgasket and water pump received car back told everything was fine.
The car had been working fine up until we decided to take a trip to oxford from Nottingham, we were travelling (myself and Hubby and Kids) in the outside lane, the car lost all power the warning light started flashing and the engine started to click. We were terrified. Thank god for my hubbys good driving he managed to get us over to the hard shoulder.
We called the RAC who were unable to fix it. They towed it back to the garage in nottingham that repaired it, which on looking at it say it is unfit for purpose. They tell me it is still under warranty, but say that the car dealership, themselves and us are jointly liable, is this correct by law?
The garage and dealership are having a meeting on Monday to decide what they are going to do. They are talking about putting a secondhand engine in, which I dont like the sound of. Do I have to accept their decision?
Any advice would be very welcome
