Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Purchased a car from a franchised Ford dealer in April, the car was a VW. I have since had a battery fail on the car and have asked for the garage to pay for a new battery. They tell me that the car was sold without a warranty, on the invoice it does say No Waranty, but, I was under the impression that this was a franchised warranty they were trying to flog me during negotiations - £600 worth !!. So I politely declined there all singing/dancing £600 warranty. I have pointed out the sale of goods act ie 3 months warranty on any vehicle purchased, but they say they are not interested and anyway a battery would not be covered anyway. I have pointed out that the battery problems started about a month after sale but they are not interested. Unless I am advised otherwise, I firmly believe that I am 100% correct on this consumer point but would like some advice to take things further or any observations that anyone may have ?

Many Thanks..............

Get a new battery fitted. Bill the dealer, sue if they don't pay up. You could try Trading Standards.

Just had a couple of replies on another forum that I don't stand a chance as a battery is a consumable item . If this is the case then so be it,but, the garage has written on my invoice NO WARRANTY and like I say he has sited this. I don't think he can do this ?
I agree with the earlier post that a call to your localTrading standards would cost you nothing.
I think its right that Batteries are not covered certainly not on second hand deals.
They could do it as a goodwill offering,if this is part of a chain of dealerships you could write to their head office and as them to look into it as a P.R. exercise.
