  • Peugeot Partner - Vehicle won't start in garage after MOT&Service 27 Nov 2023 (Forum)
      If they can't fix it, do they have an obligation to claim for a replacement for the vehicle on their insurance? Do they have a duty to get this resolved one way or another? Does it come under Consumer Rights? Are they liable for the costs over & above the works we asked for, the service & the MOT?
  • BMW 525 - False Invoice and Warranty amendment by Dealer 14 Aug 2017 (Forum)
    So what do you all think? It's clear they are trying to avoid any protection we might have through our consumer rights. We could just give the car back but we did get a good price. Where do we stand after 3 months, once the warranty expires, does the fraudulent invoice/contract matter after 3 months? Many thanks in advance for any advice.

  • Buses:I am so angry I could explode! 29 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    Second option bus: 1 change £22 cost plus £3 for headphones to watch TV. Journey time 7 hours. Journey time a bit long, but price is right and time is not critical so me thinks go for it. As a precaution check with a human the coach time and he agrees 8.05am this morning as time. Wake up this morning check on internet again and time has changed to 8.35am.

  • VW Polo - Advice Needed For The Best Possible Outcome 6 Apr 2024 (Forum)
    I went to the garage the following week to view the 'damage' and it just didn't look/feel right I told the owner I would arrange for an independent inspection which I have paid for. The report has now come back and contamination from flood water some weeks previous was the (very basic version) cause.

  • Renault Modus - Faulty Renault Modus 1.5dci,Legal Advice required. 11 May 2016 (Forum)

  • BMW X3 - Faulty car, dealer ignoring me 1 May 2024 (Forum)
    I have now sent him yet another email (he reads his emails as he did respond to me initially) stating that I require him to act under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and that he has the choice to repair, or take back the car. The RAC warranty has a clause that any faults found within 6 months that could be deemed to have been present when the car was sold, would be the liability of the dealer.
  • toyota auris hybrid 63 plate 70k mileage - Dealer sold me an unroadworthy car......... 17 Jan 2022 (Forum)
    I basically either wanted a refund or the repairs fixed by Toyota dealership or at least the catalytic convertor fixed by them and the rest I would have allowed him to do. I had sent him one notice about my consumer rights about rejecting within the 30 days I then sent another letter and email and then gave him the option of sitting with a mediator which he again refused and I myself contacted the motor ombusdman and they said they couldn't help as he was not accredited.
