As walshie said he's a trader and liable for 6 months ? I'm taking it down tonight and leave it with him ?

[dytkos 17,917]

Scream enough, he'll take notice but don't expect too much tbh.

 

Good luck.

You could always push his face against the exhaust manifold until he agrees to fix it or give you a refund......just a thought like !

[fireman 11,316]

Or point out to him he has a yard full of motors to loose where as you might loose just one if he rips you off,

Bought an Audi A4 1.8T off a trader 150 miles from my house. Looked and drove well on the test drive. Almost got home and the oil light came on, popped into halfrauds as I was passing bought some oil and topped it up. Light kept coming on every time it was under load. Turns out the engine sludges up if not serviced properly with the right oil etc. when I serviced it and changed the oil filter the filter was half the size it should be! Got it independently inspected and it needed the sump dropped, new strainer fitted new oil etc to the tune of £500. Told the dealer what was wrong and I wanted half towards the repair. 3 months of endless fone calls him saying he will send the cash. I got in my car and drove up there with a mate, his face was a picture when he saw me! Told him in no uncertain terms I want my cash and expenses for my trouble in front of a few customers.... He folded up like a head shot driven pheasant and Funnily enough the cash just happened to be sat in a drawer in the office.

 

I f****n hate chancers like that!

Are you sure its the brake pipes? The vacuum pipes for the 4wd system look similar and are prone to surface rust but are not usually a problem as they are out the way of the shit off the road.
