  1. The lads who have it are all brothers. There is 3 of them, it's a very small car sales and when I asked why the name had changed, the guy said he took it over from his brother. The brother who still happens to be working there believe it or not....
  2. ****i found it strange that the upon returning to the sales place it had changed names although it was the same lads working there
  3. I p/x my renault megane to a local car sales and covered the remaining cost of the car i wanted with a cash payment. The car I bought was a 2007 ford focus TDCI. I was told the car had a full reconditioned engine and was of a good standard. I was also issued with 6month gold warranty form the garage which I was assured would cover engine and gearbox. After having the car a day I returned with a problem which was the inter cooler pipe which was fixed by the lads. 4 months later I returned again and the guys looked over it and then tried to charge me for a diagnostics and also gave me a price it would cost to do the work. The injector seals were leaking and are not covered under the warranty because they are classed as 'wear and tear'. I'm thinking this is unusual considering the engine was fully reconditioned only 4months previous? Also I found it quite strange that I took the car to a trusted local mechanic who replaced the injector seals and informed me that the previous seals were in fact the wrong size anyway. Thinking maybe I had been sold a wreckage car, I asked the mechanic to check over certain components which may have an adverse affect on the cars performance. He told me the turbocharger was extremely worn and needed replacing. Ok. I read through the warranty booklet to discover the turbocharger is covered under the warranty terms. When calling the place of sale I was told to stop calling and that they would not do the work for me, the warranty covers all garages, go away! This is the good bit! When I called the warranty company up, I was informed that my warranty was VOID because it was sold to me under the previous name of the company, and that they were not dealing anymore! Although it is the exact same lads who I have been dealing with from the start, but trading under a different name! This to me seems very suspicious. I have had the turbocharger and relevant parts fitted to the cost of over £800 of my own money. Now there are other issues with the engine that are unknown, which is likely to cost me in the region of £1000 - £1500. I've not had the car 6months, I've spent £900 on repairs which should of been covered under warranty but are not because its Void! Can anybody help/advise me what to do?
