2nd hand car problem/trade sale/warrenty issue

[wappy]

i,ve bought an ,03 mondeo 2.0tdci 115bhp in may from a trade ad.in a local car mag.new pump was fitted in april by independant garage.pump broke in july.whole fuel system needs replaced(2 garages quoted) cost 2k.ford to check if pump faulty and its covered by warranty but as ind garage put it in they say he didnt replace injectors etc.if these r anything else (dirty fuel) caused pump to break then no cover.any advice?car cost me £4500.it had low mileage,f.s.h. and I need 2 know if warranty doesnt cover it am I entitled 2 a full refund from seller.do i have 2 prove he sold me faulty car(it was going well until pump went) or can he say that as it had work done he's in the clear?what are my legal rights.anyone else in similiar situation?

Trader will have to repair at his cost or you could reject it as not fit for purpose under SOGA.

although it wasnt a garage.he sold from home but advertised as trade and has his own business cards etc so it would be the same thing i suppose.I have the receipt of purchase.if he refuses to pay up would it cost much to take him to court or would the small claims court cover it?I was going to give him the opportunity to pay or refund and if he doesnt as i need the car i was going to sort it out and take legal action against him.would this be a wise choice?

You need to decide now really if you want to reject or accept a repair! either way stick to your guns and dont be fobed off.
