Depends on if you bought it from a dealership or private seller, I would think.

Tell them it's not fit for purpose and you want it replaced with a new one and that you want a loan car in the meantime for free!!!

Not fit for purpose is the technical term for its a piece of shit - but it's also the correct term for cars

Good luck and let us know how you get on with Arnold shark

If they try to fob you off with repair quote the Sale of Goods Act to them. Anything you buy should be

Of satisfactory qualit

Fit for the purpose

Last a reasonable amount of time.

I had this exact thing with arnold clark years ago and they were being total twats about it. Ended up with my money back and bought another elsewhere.

If its the head gasket - NO DEAL!!!!! It could have done more damage to the engine.

Call land rover first thing Monday morning and speak to them and tell Arnold shark it's not fit for purpose and you want a replacement!!

Arnold Clark is the only job interview I've walked out of half way through laughing at them. They treat their staff like dirt so don't expect them to treat customers any better.

I've got an i40 and it's been ok - year old and 30,000 miles. Only thing that's gone has been the reversing camera.

Huge in the back, I'm sure there's room to lie down and shag in it. Anybody want to help me find out?

Fuck Arnold Clark!! I work in the motor trade delivering new cars which includes work for jaguar land rover, don't deal with Arnold Clark go direct to Land Rover and they should deal with it. Heard a similar story about a range rover sport which was a week old and driver contacted jlr direct and they replaced the car the next day and with some hefty compo included.. Arnold Clark won't match that

Hence why I said contact land rover direct on Monday morning.

There's no way I'd want that car back - EVER

I agree, if mechanic says its a head gasket then as someone said earlier no telling what damage been done to the engine.. Personally speaking I'd get my money back and never buy a land rover.. Get the Hyundai Santa Fe, far superior car and cheaper to boot

Dont talk to Arnold shark until you've spoken to land rover first!!

Tell them it's not fit for purpose and demand a full refund - watch them offer you another car first!!

Go google the sale of goods act - it applies to your car as well as the kitchen sink and the 12 pairs of jeans in the wardrobe you've never worn

Under tcs and cs you should have 14 days cool off/money back. Ive used this once before after buying my car and the following day it broke down. Tried to pull the wool over my eyes as i was female!!!! Doh, i love my cars and know how they work. They tried to fix it but it broke down so i told them where to shove it. Signed necessary paperwork ending contract and got a car that worked

from another garage!

Good luck

Lou

Go directly to Land Rover, stating when and where purchased. They will not want any hassle, and sort you out rather swiftly I should think.

Meh. Audis are as common as chips nowadays. They used to have cache and exclusivity but now every third car is an Audi.
