Well I’m well I’m glad to say that all you back street lawyers were wrong as usual, I received my full £1000 deposit back yesterday, as for the “ clapped out old shed” they still have it, and if I’d listened to you lot and your bad advice I’d still be out of pocket, but thankfully I took the advice of a real solicitor via my house insurance who told me exactly what to put in an email to the dealer, I did this and within 4 days the deposit was returned 
so thanks for fk all you lot

I suggest that you never ever use a forum for advice again. 

Something makes me think that suggestion may be redundant.

Something else makes me think the dealer has been honourable, and the OP is going to find themselves in the same boat in the near future, wondering how lightning can possibly strike the same place twice...

Aye right.

So you're now agreeing the car was a clapped out shed! Why did you buy such a heap in the first place?
