    Not fit for purpose? It was bought in August 2010 - its certainly fit for purpose for the 10 months it was working - indeed its beleived to be damaged in transit - so still not the fault of the retailer or the product build itself.

    Your 'demand a full refund on retail price' comment has no legal justification. There are no rights under any regulation or law that entitles the purchaser to a full original refund. The retailer has the right to offer a refund, repair or replacement, at their choosing - a refund, if applicable would likely incur a significant reduction on the base of use and current market value.

    As for your post, you're entitled to an opinion if factually correct - otherwise, I am equally entitled to correct you.

    The only childish rant here is yours, and Ill gladly quote it to ensure you can't hide from it.

    What is not fit for purpose... the repair or the product?

    Why should the consumer be entitled to a full refund?

    SOGA allows for (amongst other things) "any reimbursement to the buyer may be reduced to take account of the use he has had of the goods since they were delivered to him".

    If they have failed to repair the item as per the terms then as a customer you are entitled to by law to request a full refund of the original price paid.

    It does not matter that you paid £1400.00, 10 months ago and now you can get them for lets say £900.00, you have every right to request and the company have to adhere to certain laws that will state you get the full price refunded back not what its worth 10 moths later.

    That is the most stupid post I have ever heard.

    If they do not refund then it has to be goods to the original value given in place, not a reduced amount.

    And they are perfectly entitled to say "No".
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    if it has been sent in for repair and come back as op described then you have given them the oppertunity to fix it and then you can go back and request a refund if they then say no you just make small court claim as you have acted correctly and therefore have every right to pur sue an action against them via the courts.

    If they have premises where they deal with customers, this would be an entirely proper channel.

    if they have the premises to do it then yes but i was going on the assumption they wouldnt have the facility to do so,
