just an update with the outcome<it turns out "tetley"the warranty is their own(not insurance backed)and the people ive been speaking to only administer it for them.after calls to consumer direct they advise me if i was not to accept his offer ,i would not be able to use the car till any court action was resolved. and if i di accept i wouldnt be able to persue them in the small claims or anything.we need the car back asap so against my wishes the mrs has got her way and im coughing up £400... but i will get my pound of flesh off them.as soon as i have the car back a letter to the local rag ,when im passing the showrooms/forecourt if i see the !!!! of a salesman ,who mis sold me a warranty and has been a complete !!!!!!!, with customers i will politely give them a few good reasons not to buy from there....and i will do this every time i fxxxn see him.

I don't think you have a cat's chance in hell of doing any better than has already been offered by the trader.

It's more than 6 months so you would have to show that the fault was there when you bought it - How will you do that?

Or you will have to show durability that it should have lasted more than 6 months/xxxmiles before showing a worn gearbox. This is probably your best bet, but a 7 year old car gets a worn gearbox? Doesn't sound unrealistic to me. i.e. it is to be expected that faults of this nature will (or could) arise.

the car went back WITHIN 6 months ,so would have been upto dealer to prove defect WASNT present when car was bought ,and no it dont sound unreallistic ,but the law states otherwise(soga) anyways ive put it to bed now£400 lighter and a whole lot fxxxxxg wiser
