Mess with car dealership

And it'll be the buyer's responsibility to do that.

But still worth trying with the dealer and also not rejecting at this stage.

I blame Boris. What has he done to reduce the distance from Edinburgh to Inverness? Nothing! He and his cronies in Westminster just don't care. When Scotland is truly independent you'll be able to phone the rulers in Brussels and get a free recovery truck to take you.

Car is for personal use. Faults was glow plugs, dfp sensor, timing belt. That's what I remember - papers are not with me right now.

Assuming it starts and runs fine then Glow plugs will be something that the code reader has picked up.

DPF sensor will more than likely just restrict the chance of the car doing a Regen which is you're doing a 150 mile drive back to the dealer wont be an issue unless you do loads of round town driving between then and now.

Timing belt? What about it? No record of it being done? with only 90k in 4 years on it then unlikely to be in a failing condition just more a case that it needs doing and the places you went to are trying to upset you work to get them more money.

The DPF sensor will more than likely be the cause of the EML coming on and will be easy to change and cheap to buy more than likely

As an example and probably take a garage no time at all to change.

I want to return the car, but seller is saying that Im not in title for refund, even if I bought it 10 days ago. How is that?

Because the issues have to be above and beyond those that could be reasonably expected of used goods of that age, price and apparent condition.

So far, you've got a couple of fault codes (which may be transient or historic) on a 90k mile vehicle that's one of the very cheapest of the model in the country.

But by law I it says I can return the car in 30 days time? I have skype conversation with dealer right now and he is saying, that I can't return car. How is that?

AIUI you can return goods within 30 days for a full refund if they are faulty. That hasn't been established.

...beyond reasonable expectations given those caveats...

That hasn't been established.

Reasonable expectations for a 90k cheap-end vehicle are very different from those for a near-new one. We're talking about a 4yo vehicle that cost at most one-third of the list price of a new one - perhaps even less, depending on spec.

I think you need to understand the law before quoting it to the seller and displaying that you don't understand it. You need to establish it's faulty beyond what might reasonably expected for a car of that age and mileage. I can't see that you've done that yet.

You can reject the car within 30 days but you must prove the faults existed at the time of sale and are not consistent with it's age or condition.
