Our Tesco Technika flat screen is failing spectacularly just 18 months after we bought it for £400. I knew we had a right to claim under the sales of good act etc. Tesco has offered to give us £160, but doesn't want the TV back.
Bearing in mind a telly should last, IMO, 5-6 years at the very least, do you think this is sufficient?
We have essentially paid 400-160 = £230 for 18 months of tv. Would you be happy if a £230 tv died after 18 months and you got no money back?
I would have divided the 400 by 72 months (six years) to get a 'one month' value, multiplied that by 18 (for the number of months we have had it) and counted that as the share we have already had
400/72 = £5.50
5.50 x 18 = £99
So I'd want the other £300 back.
Should I take the money or push for more? We have to buy a new TV either way...

AIBU to want more money back for dodgy tv?
