warranty

Hi
I recently bought a vauxhall signum 2007 through a private buyer .
He had various bills for work carried out on the car over the last couple of months.
One of these was a new clutch /flywheel/slave cylinder at a cost of £700.
My car has now developed a fault in that the clutch pedal is losing pressure so had the clutch master cylinder changed but this has not made any difference.
So the slave cylinder must be faulty only problem is this means a gearbox removal.
I live 250 miles from where the garage who carried out the original work done so cannot take it back to them so what options are left to me .
any advice would be helpful

    Welcome

    Firstly hope it's not this Signum https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5300786 :rotfl:

    Not much you can do re the work previously carried out unless you've some warranty paperwork showing the T&C's and whether the 'warranty' was transferrable.

    Presumably the garage that carried it out was not part of a national chain in which case if you want them to deal with it (and they agree to do that) you're likely to have to get the car back to them
