Hi there I have just bought a seat Leon tdi. Paid cash to a private seller, test drove the car no problems. Paid signed for it no warranty.
Left 150 miles later car is dead on the side of the road.
What can I do any help would be great. I feel sick as a pick.
I don't mind if he helps fix it

Have you discussed it witht he seller yet.
Only thing that is possible is going to small claims court if the seller refuses to refund or repair.
p.s does the car have petrol0 -

If the seller will do it for nothing, then choose that option.
If the seller won't fix it, then you will have to make other arrangements to get the car fixed.
Where is the car now?
Still by the side of the road?0 -
135 mile away in a garage waiting to be looked at0

Did the seller misrepresent it? If not I think it's down to you.WHO READS SIGNATURES ANYWAY? DOES ANYONE UNDER 30YRS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOSE AND LOOSE?0

You bought a Seat Leon nearly three hundred miles from home?
A bit late now, but was that wise?0
