  • Quick update for you all.

    Took garage to court, they were ordered to repair the car at no cost to me and pay me costs. Car was repaired, however, a few months later, same issue occured.
    I then paid upto half of the HP and VT'd the vehicle in its current state.
    They then tried to sting me for over £1k worth of repairs. I had photo's to prove the damage was already there, so I didn't have to pay anything.
    I then had a default put on my credit file by mistake by the finance company.
    A few emails later they have acknowledged this error and this has been removed.

    I now have a £250 car which has lasted much longer!
