Thread: Need Help with repair costs

Hi

I have just had a repair bill in for £350 for my car purchased feb this year, I bought the car with 29000 miles on the clock and it needed a new turbo at 30000, which because I didnt take a warranty took me 8 weeks to get sorted eventually at the expense of the garage, now 10 weeks after a new turbo the inlet manifold flap motor shows a fault and it costs me £350, now also my payment for the car is due too, I am really struggling as I go away on holiday in 2 weeks and have spent the spending money on repairing my car as I need it for work which is 500 miles a week,

My question is can I ask the finance company for a contribution as the car is legally theirs or is there anything else you can reccomend

cheers
pughy

Thanks for the reply,

I have had to pay for the repairs as I need my car for travel to work

have spoke to Trading Standards today and they say to send a letter to the finance company demanding they pay the repair bill under sale of goods, implied terms (act 1973) stating that the goods are not of satiisfactory quality or fit for purpose

does this sound right??
