• 2005 Audi A4 - Audi A4 issues, should I pursue costs against deal 29 May 2012 (Forum)
  I've been told I shouldn't drive this car, which I'd pretty much stopped anyway due the diesel smell in the cabin. The car cost £6k and now I'm facing a significant cost outlay to make it driveable, whic I can't afford to do. I'm assuming the warranty, if it exists (no evidence of this either) covers mechanical failure and prrobably wont cover this?

• Dealer hasn't settled finance on PX 9 May 2014 (Forum)
  Don't want to give specifics in case I have to get legal people involved, but  I recently traded in my previous car as PX for a different make/model at an independent dealer. New car is great, finance on new car sorted no problem.  As part of the PX there was negative equity on the value of the car I traded in versus the PX valuation which I covered as part of the PX deal.

• MG ZS - Am I just unlucky -is this warranty actually of us 3 Jun 2025 (Forum)
  I have a 4 year old that has caused no problems at all until the weekend. The stop start activated at a set of lights and the car then would not restart. Being the weekend I had to have it recovered to home. It won’t start and in fact is really difficult to turn back off when trying to start it. So, two local dealers both agree it’s likely to be covered by the warranty.
