Hi, I wonder if somebody could advise me on the following situation.
I bought a used semi automatic gearbox off ebay, sold with 3 months warranty for £525.
I paid a garage £800 to remove my old gearbox from my car and fit the new gearbox, the problem is the gearbox I bought was faulty, the car was taken to the dealers after the seller confirmed he would cover the £85+vat to get it diagnosed. The gearbox was diagnosed with either faulty sensor (£65 +vat) or faulty actuator (£850 + vat), the seller told me to have the sensor replaced and that he would cover the cost. It turns out now that the actuator faulty.
My question is who is liable for all these costs?
£525 for the gearbox
£800 to fit the gearbox
£85 for the diagnostics
£65 for the sensor
£400 remove the faulty gearbox
£50 to return the faulty gearbox to the seller
Who is liable to pay the £800 to have the faulty gearbox fitted and removed + the costs the seller originally agreed to cover?
That will still leave my car with no gearbox and plenty of expenses
Any advise is most appreciated.
