Hi all,

I have a Ford focus 3 years old with 9000 on the clock. I purchased it second hand from a non Ford dealer and after only 5 months ownership the engine has failed (1 piston has broken into pieces).

I have been looking into the consumers right act, from my understanding the dealer that I purchased it from should be taking the vehicle back and repairing it as its within 6 months from purchase, unless they can prove the fault wasn't there at the time of sale.

From what I can make out the consumers right act takes into account the age of the vehicle, and what a reasonable person would expect. Am I expecting too much from the dealer to take the car back and repair the engine? its only 3 years old and only has 9000 miles on the clock and has a full service history.

Thanks,
