You can only use section 75 if the credit is directly linked to the purchase.  Otherwise, it's just cash.

Who is CA and Trading STD ?

Because its a personal loan rather than finance your stuck, you have to complain to the garage, send a lba letter.

CA = CAB (Citizen Advice Bureau) and Trading Standards......would be my guesses. DO I get a prize?

took out personal loan to buy car, turned out to be right lemon, approached dealer no response went through usual channels ,CA and TS   no joy, i have to now except that i was sold a dud. the point i am making is, that it should be made when taking out a PL that you have no support if things go wrong  as it did in my case

A personal loan is exactly that, you have no come back on the lender only the dealer. Had you paid just £1 on a cc then section 75 might have helped.

You might want to have a read of the following (although depends on age and cost of car in terms of what is reasonable to expect when purchasing from a dealer).

As with the Sale of Goods Act, under the Consumer Rights Act all products must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.  

The rules also include digital content in this definition. So all products - whether physical or digital - must meet the following standards:  

• Satisfactory quality  Goods shouldn't be faulty or damaged when you receive them. You should ask what a reasonable person would consider satisfactory for the goods in question. For example, bargain-bucket products won’t be held to as high standards as luxury goods. 
• Fit for purpose  The goods should be fit for the purpose they are supplied for, as well as any specific purpose you made known to the retailer before you agreed to buy the goods. 
• As described  The goods supplied must match any description given to you, or any models or samples shown to you at the time of purchase.
