    Lost my 8 week old - Brain Tumor

    Can't even begin to imagine what you have both been through and continue to suffer every day. Good on you for your efforts in raising money for such a good cause.

    High pressing 3-5-1-1 for me then if I'm facing wingers I'll pull my wingers back to full back with wingback role.

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Ha the update is that I have finally received my refund and can move on from the whole sorry episode. Not going to name and shame though as the problem has been sorted in the end and that is the main thing. Thanks to all those that offered advice throughout, it was all very useful and reassuring.

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Oh :( I did send it but thankfully I received a voicemail earlier confirming that they are going to give me a refund :p They'd discussed where they stood with trading standards and apparently received mixed messages from them. Whatever was said though, the result appears to be a positive one...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Only £4,000 was financed so my broker told me it is unlikely that the lender will be too concerned about getting involved. Solicitor didn't get back to me today so I will try them again tomorrow. I guess I'll have to see what, if any, response comes back tomorrow. If nothing, I'll be making...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    One of the directors. I've been dealing only with him since the 10th November (thread start date) when I first heard they were of the opinion I had caused the problem.

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Sadly it isn't even with VW. If it was I might be a bit more hopeful as at least head office can put a bit of downward pressure on the dealership.

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    This is getting rather frustrating. I sent an email Saturday morning and followed it up with a phone call 30 minutes later to ensure he had received it. I stated my absolute position which is that I want a refund. He said he would have to "think about it as there is nothing wrong with the car...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    I don't feel abused, don't worry :p I'm perhaps not putting things across well. I have maintained that I would like a refund throughout but am not convinced of my position legally hence me not being too bold and ending up with a raw deal. In respect of waiting until Monday, I did try to...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    So here's an update I wasn't expecting. The garage just called to say there has been a development - there's nothing wrong with the car at all! They claim that having put it on a ramp (not sure why it has taken 3 weeks to do so) they immediately saw a shaft wasn't turning, traced it back to a...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Yes they've been written to twice confirming a telephone conversation where they stated they were going to refund me. I've broken down the payment that I believe is due to me for them and am now waiting to receive it, at which point I have said it would be appropriate for them to come and...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    I didn't hear back from the garage on Friday morning or afternoon so I spoke to a solicitor in preparation for the worst outcome. I chased a couple more times on Monday morning and eventually heard back from the dealer later in the day advising that they aren't receiving the information they...

    Golf Thread

    That is a shame stuie. I must admit to not being as keen to get out there and play the last few months. I have put it down to feeling a bit of pressure having gone down to 8 handicap. One bad hole has been ruining around whereas previously I could come back from it. I have decided to embrace it...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Thanks everyone I really appreciate the advice. I fully expect them to try and pull a fast one when they call tomorrow so I'm going to call a solicitor first thing too. Will keep you updated for those that have an interest in how it pans out.

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    The car was sent to a "gearbox specialist", though I don't know who that is. They're calling me in the morning with a conclusion from them but I know what they're going to say. Spoken to a gearbox mechanic nearby who has said they're just trying to pull a fast one as they wouldn't be able to...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    So far I have stated in two emails that the car is not fit for purpose and I would like to cancel the purchase, return it to them and receive a refund. Thank you for the responses/reassurances everyone. It is at least helping me to calm down after the phone call. I think I'm going to write...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Axeboy - that was my understanding from what I have read too. The concern though is that they are inevitably going to say that I caused the fault. Could they even prove that? Whenever I have read things and seen that I'm not entitled to something if I caused the fault, I have always read that...

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    It is a trader who advised me they acquire a number of Volkswagens from main dealers.

    Bought used car - broke down after one week

    Afternoon guys, looking for a bit of preliminary advice please. I bought a 2011 (61) VW Touareg Altitude with 42,500 miles at the end of October 2016. After one week, I was accelerating up a hill (after having pulled over to let a car pass on a single track road) and heard a clunk with the...
