Hello, my wife paid a £500.00 deposit by credit card for a second hand car at a ford dealership and said she would pick up the car in about four weeks when she had received an insurance payout. On the receipt the salesmen wrote delivery date TBC.
The manager & salesan have both now called my wife today and said we have to pick up the car asap otherwise we will have to pay more for the car as second hand the prices will go up.
This was last Saturday so only three days ago, my wife now does not want to buy the car from this garage as she is feeling a little bit harrasssed.. Can we tell them we have changed our mind and claim back our deposit.
Also can they really now make us pick up the car sooner that they agreed.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the advice, I'll speak to them and see if we can reach agreement.
The fan on my P reg 1.6 Fiat Bravo doens not seem to be operating at all the car overheats. I have been told to check the relay next to the battery. When I open this compartment it has space for a relay but there is not on there. I have also bypassed the radiator fan switch using a paperclip and fan still does not work. Anyone any ideas? Read more
The sensor should be after the relay normally in the radiator or a hose connection you will have to trace the switch wire back from the fan motor.I assume you have a good volt meter and you know how to use it.
Have used non dealer for front suspension MOT work.
Have now got 3 warning lights on dashboard and am advised that the sensors have been activated by the mechanic.
How can I get them turned off without paying a fortune to a Dealer? Read more
If the driveshafts have been removed then possibly the ABS sensors were demaged..

Hi, Can anyone recommend a 'decent' leisure battery for my 1975 VW Camper?? Ive had a couple of unknown brand 85A ones from a well known camping shop! Which dont last long at all when in use & will only charge to 75% when charged off the van! I have a split charge relay & believe the Alternator puts out 55A. From the leisure battery im running the stereo, 2 Amplifiers, a couple of interior lights & a propex heater, Not all at the same time. any ideas? Thank Scott. Read more
Buy an 'AGM' battery. it isn't a make but a type, 'absorbant glass mat' they are about the best reasonably priced battery.

I have a question about my cars valves, being completly ignorant about how they work i would really appreciate some feedback before i pay the mechanic a visit so that i know what to epxect and how much work fine tuning the valves for my car involves.... Read more
Not really being familier with the petrol engines in 405s I can only give you a rough idea. The diesels have adjustable valves but they are set by using diffefent thickness shims which entails removing the camshaft, if the petrol engine is overhead cam, which I suspect it is, the same procedure will apply
I have just looked up the Xantia engines which I suspect are the same and they are overhead cam, designated XU engines, the diesel is XUD so I'm pretty sure its the same, so valve clearance adjustment will require a certain ammount of dismantling....
