Righty,
Ive just joined up on behalf of a friend as im pretty sure im right on this one.
The end of july last year he bought a second hand Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring (the special edition) on an 08 plate with 25k miles for £13,500, From a VX dealer.
Now it has been fine until the last two weeks where it has lost power and been very sluggish etc.
It turns out the exhaust manifold has cracked and is causing these issues, the problem been the exhaust manifold and turbo unit are all one unit. And the parts alone for the unit are £380 and the labour etc. So obviously this is going to be a very costly exercise.
Now im saying that VX should either repair this for free, as if i paid 13.5k for a car less than a year ago I wouldnt expect to have to be shelling out for anything more than the "consumables".
Just looking at where he stands really?
Thanks
Jamie
