Me little brother (who is a special needs adult) bought a car from a dealership 2 weeks ago.  Day before yesterday head gasket went.  When he phoned the garage yesterday they tried to tell him that he would have to pay for the repair (dealership gave a 3 month warranty on paper).

So now i have a nice afternoon of trying to get him a refund (i work in the trade sometimes) and thats going to be fun! lol

Just wanted a rant!

P.s. avoid Teville Motor Company in Worthing!

crazymac:
It really does depend on the details of the warranty!

Read the small print carefully. Unfortunately many of these warranties are not worth the paper they are printed on!!

You may not have a leg to stand on unfortunately :'(

Yoshi:
Am not worried about the warranty, i have the sale of goods act and the fact the car is not fit for purpose. 

Also the warranty depends from company to company, i.e. the warranties i offer when doing my bit are a proper warranty with a warranty company, not an in house one.

Its within 30 days, Sale of Goods act, Not fit for Purpose.

this might  be of some help  usually these warranties cover mechanical breakdown only ie if the head gasket blown pressurising the coolant system etc over heating.what wouldnt be covered would be something leaking ie oil  possible water as well if it was just leaking from the joint and running down the block! as this would be classed as wear and tear and not sudden mechanical failure
obviously if they dont help you out theres alway trading standards!
