Have a Vauxhall insignia 1.8i SRI Nav - under 29000 miles.

 

Now 5 months out of 3 year standard warranty as car bought 2nd hand.

 

Had problems with coolant during warranty.

 

Dealer replaced thermostat and at another time they topped up coolant.

 

I have advised that this is now a latent defect and should be covered under warranty.

 

Both the dealer and Vauxhall are stating warranty expiry

but as a gesture of goodwill have given me 50% off a £500+ bill

to replace thermostat housing and cooler pipe!!

 

I am sick to the teeth phoning and mailing arguing the point.

 

I have mentioned that this cannot be wear and tear but I keep getting the same garbage back.

 

Any advise how I take this forward?

 

I am actually in the process of selling the car as I have no confidence in it!!

 

To add, I get 25 MPG on average.

 

Dealer tells me its my driving!!!

 

Vauxhall advise I have it checked.

 

Dealer is willing to check free of charge but I won't hold my breath for an improvement

or remedial works done free of charge!!!

Sale of Good Act 1979 - oh yes, this has been quoted by e-mail and over the phone many times. They still choose to ignore it!

 

If it's the same engine as the vectra , I believe there prone to head gaskets going.

I.had an 2008 vectra 1.8 with 100000 miles and the gasket went

Search online to see if its an issue

The get trading standards involved. The fact they have offered you 50% off shows they know its THEIR problem. They just dont want to take full responsibility.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Legally my contract is with dealer as they sold me the car, therefore Vauxhall find it easy to push me away! Negotiating with a dealer whose main aim is profit profit profit is a nightmare!

 

 

In Scotland as far as I am aware there is no trading standards? Just the citizens advice bureau?

what do you mean a pers loan against the car?

 

if you got finance to buy the car and its named on the agreement

 

then the finance company can be involved here
