Let's all stick to the question the op asked, and stop trying to muddy the waters.

YOU were the one who was referring to SOGA in a general sense, and what i was commenting on.

They've got the car now and have inspected it so that's not the issue. They say the job will be carried out to the same standard as a main dealer would but won't offer the same guarantee on parts and labour (or any). We're not talking about changing a bulb, it's a major engine strip/rebuild so i don't think i'm being unreasonable in the slightest. last post by OP

so they inspected it, the job will be dont at dealers quality, one can assume the repair is going ahead on this the OP's comment.

rejction NOW is not an option. OP will have to wait untill repair is complete and dealer quality expected if not reject it.

No, and I will say it again, to dispell the myths, and mis information.

If the car is unroadworthy, within a short space of time, and 24 hours qualifies, you have a right to a refund.
You do not need to accept a repair, the dealer doesn't have a right to three goes to fix it, in fact, if you give him that chance, he can spend weeks on the car, and even if he doesn't, you effectively give up your right to a refund anyway.

If he does repair it, if it only lasts just over six months, tough on you.

If he wants to be stupid, you will have to take him to court, if he loses and won't pay, you can enforce the payment eventually with the bailiff, who will remove his stock.
You can claim all your costs back.
And no judge would say it's fine to sell a car that doesn't last a day without changing the engine.

What we really need is an update from the O/P as to progress!

If the op hasn't agreed, they can say what they want.

Rejection is STILL an option, the op can NEVER be forced to give up his rights under the soga, even if the dealer tries to FORCE them.
In fact, the fact they are messing with the op's car WITHOUT the op's agreement so weakens their position they would have no chance of winning in any court proceeding.

I agree with you there.
While we're argueing, it could be back on the road being driven perfectly, or back on the AA truck, after scraping up the ramps.:)

Where did the O/P say that?

Indeed.

Or the supplying dealer could have refunded!

your assuming the worse, ofcourse rejection is still an option and probably (wich is in the SOGA description) entitled to a refund i havent said differently, my advice throughout has been accurate, the OP wanted a main dealer repair wich is unfair for the seller to agree to if the vehicle hasnt be firstly inspected (not messed with).

i advised on the mount snapping.

then the OP said its with them been inspected and WILL be repaired at main dealer quality from this description and available info one can say that the seller has been given the chance to repair, IVE not reiterated that a refund was NEVER an option.

Let's agree to call it a day, until the op comes back to update.
