Small claims court - car issue

photome

You say you paid top price, what did you pay , what model mileage year etc?

You probably still have grounds to reject but have muddied the waters by getting work done elsewhere

In OP
 £6000 for a 2015 sportage (which on autotrader is about average price low £3k High £12K)
Although no mileage mentioned, or exactly which version.

Spending £6,000 on a car that appears to have faults is not the time to be all 'lol' and 'haha'. No one will take that seriously.  Stop communicating with the dealer with jokey texts. Get the inspection done and write to him, setting out what you want.

Thanks, depending on model, mileage and history I would suggest that is a good price rather than top price, there are many 2015 sportage for 7 to 9k

We don’t communicate at all
as he refuses any contact only
wants contact via his solicitor or email but refuses to give those details. I am going to get inspection booked tomorrow.

It has part service history book stamped but no paperwork for any work done to the car the service stamps are mainly from
one garage , think it’s probably just had oil
services as it’s hard to start in morning

I don't follow that at all.  If it's hard to start on these relatively mild mornings, that perhaps points to a battery nearing the end of its life.  A recent oil change won't have any negative bearing on starting.

But full services change things like fuel filter,air filter,sparks/glow plugs  etc so would make it start better if was having full services in its life  rather than just oil and filter each time and I think it  must need glow plugs. Battery fine. It is mostly on the mornings that it minus like it was not that long ago . So mild mornings it’s not a huge delay but on cold starts it’s terrible
