Companies have certain obligations under the Sales of Goods Act. Any fault found on a vehicle within the first 6 months is automatically deemed to have been present at the time of sale, unless the seller can prove otherwise (excluding normal wear and tear).

First, contact your local trading standards office and get their guidance

Secondly, warn everyone else of this dodgy dealer by reviewing them here:
www . dodgydealers.co.uk

In this case, if you have stopped using the vehicle imemdiately, you have the right of rejection, though the dealer may refuse in which case you are stuck with item 2 above and taking them through small claims court.
