HELP - clutch/dmf

Hi all
I have just swopped my GS for a SE but within 24 hours of getting it home it is showing signs of the dreaded clucth/duel mass fly wheel problem talked about so much on here.
My first question is can i reject the car even though its on fianance?,i'm expecting to be fobbed off as i purchased it from a car supermarket so want to get my facts in order in case they try it on, to be honest i don't know my rights regarding fianance,when they realise how much its going to cost them i imagine they'll bodge it or something, going to ring them this morning so fingers crossed
regards Thumbs Up

what age is the car and mileage ?

is it outwith Landrover warranty ?

also the fact that it is on finance may be in your favour.

With most finance terms the car actually belongs to the finance company, if the dealer wont fix the car you can tell the finance co to fix it. At work

I don't think you should have any problem getting it fixed.

As long as they dont just do the clutch and its the flywheel, make sure you give it a good test before taking it away when you collect it!

Nope,
Good advice given, make sure they replace both clutch and DMF together with the clutch slave cylinder. They are aslo prone to premature failure.
You shouldn't have been sold it in the first place. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.
