Hi
I purchased a 2003 Rover for £2000 in Sept '09 from a dealer. The dealer said it had a problem with the water pump and it would need changing which they did Ok as far as I know. Then in December it developed a fault and the dealer replaced the water pump again which he said had developed a fault. Its now February and I have the same fault again and they are saying its the Head Gasket which will cost me £400-500 to fix and that they are willing to share some of the cost as it is now outside of their 3 month warranty (it would cost me £175.00) I pointed out to them that my statutory rights under the sales and supply of goods to consumers regulations 2002 state that if a fault develops within 6 months they have to repair free of charge. At this point this withdrew their offer and told me to come and pick my car up.
Can anyone verify if I have an argument under the sales of goods act?
Many Thanks
