Leaky new motorbike

Don't forget, even as a private individual you are responsible if you pass a vehicle on with known problems. It has to be as much fit for use as you expected it to be.

Hiding a fault and passing it on makes you just as bad, and legally responsible. Have a word with the warranty company and either take it elsewhere - if the warrranty company realise that repairs so far have not been effective, they will allow another vat registered garage (which you are free to use anyway) to re-complete repairs to a set standard.

You have a year left....grow some teeth, get on with it!

"Warranty company"? It was a new bike. This is the manufacturer/importer warranty.

The block exemption rules do not require warranty repairs to be done outside the dealer network - they only require servicing outside the network to be done without affecting the warranty.

Personally, I'd be taking it to a different dealer. But, then, I'd have been doing that a year or more ago.

If it really can't be fixed by the dealer, then make it the dealer's problem - by getting them to buy the bike back.

Let me guess, you want a FULL refund?
