Long story short.
We purchased a Zafira from a Vauxhall dealer (5k mileage), teh engine blew at 40k, out of warranty, Vauxhall were not prepared to fix even though full service history. Eventually they agreed to pay 50% as goodwill (Bill £4000). New engine provided by Vauxhall and fitted. 7.5k miles later (15 months) and teh cylinder head has cracked. Vauxhall only gave a 12montsh warranty, and again are refusing to resolve teh issue.
I am threatening them with the Sales of Goods Act 1979 (amended) via teh small claims court, because goods should be fit for purpose and of satisafactory quality, which after 7500 miles it clearly isnt.
Does anyone have any experience of using this act to resolve these types of issues via the small claims court?
I am also reporting teh issue to Motorcodes.
Any further recomendations or actions greatly received
cheers
