It depends what the diagnosis is, I would wait and see first, it may be something silly and a simple fix.

you wont be able to reject it on one breakdown anyway, it has to be some sort of repetitive seemingly uncurable problem.

Not so. Thats is how the dealer interprets the law for their own end. All saleable goods must be of 'a merchandable quality' and 'fit for the purpose for which it's intended'. So, for example, if you bought a deep fat fryer form Argos and it wouldn't heat up to temperature, you'd be either entitled to money back or a replacement. Not to get someone to pull it apart and try to fix it. That is part of the Sale of Goods Act. But because you've spent £30k's or so, rather than 30 quid ......... the rest you can guess. In law, makes no difference if you spent a quid or a million. If it doesn't do what it says on the tin, then the seller must abide by the law. Once you enter in agreement with the seller to allow them to fix it, so be it at your peril. And it can go on and on. I had a similar problem with a new R75 with a squealing clutch and i didn't let them fix it and got a new car later although i had to wait. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

Ay up Stownrow!, That's real s t! I hate dpf full stop. Next car i buy will be petrol but that doesn't help you. You have to make up your mind pretty quick. As i said before, once you allow the dealer to try and fix it, you've changed the terms of the contract. At present, the terms are the dealer supplies to you according to the Sale of Goods Act. You are within your rights, if not satisfied, and the goods are not of merchandable quality, which is the case, to a full refund or replacement. The dealer will of course try to bend over backwards to fix it, but if you agree to this, any rejection of the car or a refund becomes almost impossible Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

you cannot reject the car without giving the dealer a "reasonable" chance to fix it. Iain |

I agree with Iain, I read an article recently that said that with vehicles the law leans towards the dealer and rejecting a car, whilst not being impossible, is far from easy. You also have to give them the opportunity of fixing the fault, if after two or three attempts the problem is still there then you can start the rejection process.
