ok so i purchased a car on finance last friday,nice 7 seater 53 reg zafira,(so i thought)
driving the 5 miles home i realise the heating isnt working and the outside temperature display also isnt working..........very pissed off.
i ring to get car in to be sorted for this friday,continue doing small journeys in very cold car all week, do a small journey on thursday and the temp gauge says overheating and the oil light comes on,how odd im thinking on a car i only bought a week ago,anyhow cut a long and very annoying story short,myself and my son get out to have a check under bonnet.
its then we find that the car is totally bone dry of water and oil is below minimum level! so we fill water up...6 litres it took while the cars steaming and hissing at me,this resolves the heating not working problem so in conclusion the car company have sold me a car which is dry of water and no oil in!
now im no mechanic but i do know that this causes severe problems on a car and i was driving a car all weeek with small kiddies i(im a childminder) that had the potential to blow at any minute.
im writing to the comapny to ask for a different car or at the least a thorough inspection by a reputable vauxhall dealer and not a cruddy gargae they deal with.
where do i stand legally if they refuse either of these?
any advice appreciated.
sorry its so long!
