Also if its been MOT'd at an time and if more than once get them to give you ALL of the certificates as they can tell a story

You can go on line for the complete history of MOT's

Just ask them for the "document reference number" on the front of the V5C (log book in olden days) and registration number.

Go onto http://motinfo.direct.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp input the details and they will give you all the information on all the MOT's.

On and off for many years.
I wouldn't dare be so openly sexist with so many lovely ladies on here.

If us boys upset them too much who will do the teas and the tidying up?

And where would you sleep? Pup tents aren't that comfortable for full grown adults.

Anyway Sandra @irnbru is a brilliant driver.

The retailer will have very robust terms of sale and warranty. Luckily though, they will be asleep at the switch. My advice is to send them a letter or email outlining all of your concerns. You will only find out the full list of defects when you have owned the vehicle for a few days.

You need to stress that wear and tare items such as brakes and clutch ought to perform properly for at least 3 months.

I would be surprised if they even bother to read your correspondence but it helps enormously when you take them to small claims court.

Just as an aside I was told my vehicle had air conditioning. I sent a text ask where the on/off switch was. Their reply told me where to find it (they now wish they had said it does not have aircon). As a consequence I sued them for £2500 and they paid up. That's Brownhills for you - got to love 'em.
