Hope someone can help me out here... I was just after a home to station and back car. Didnt care about looks just function. I checked it out as best as I can (not a mechanic), found it a bit under powered but didnt care (old car), no oil leaks, no bad idling, no shaking, starts first time every time (still does), all electricals were good, took a loooong test drive, engine oil didnt look to be milky, no smoke, no smell (AT THE TIME). Dealer gave me a 1 year warranty from external company... Bought it... what a sucker...
Literally with no exaggeration, that same night the car started blowing lots of white (not blue) smoke with a heavy smell of petrol.
Called the dealer, redirected me to the warranty place... fair enough, so I tried to do the right thing and go to the warranty place but they're already talking about an engine rebuild or replacement and the warranty only covers a fraction of the price of that.
Dealer and his mechanically A1 "promise" should take resposibility for false advertising but of course... he wont.
Anyone had any experience with Fair Trading and or enforcing the Lemon Law on a bad buy like this?
Any feed back and advice would be great. Thanks.
