Need some professional advice pse.
I bought an Auto Sleeper motorhome nearly 3 yrs ago (June 2009) but up until February this year, when I read an article ref tyres in the Sept MMM, I was completely unaware of Motorhome tyres being rated CP whereas commercial tyres are rated C.
I was in S Spain and so I checked my spare to find I had a C rated tyre and as it is illegall to fit this on the same axle as a CP I was somewhat concerned.
I have contacted A/S who have PDI proof that it was fitted with 5 x CP tyres when it left their factory!
I also have the PDI from the dealer dated 15 June 2009 when I purchaed the vehicle showing that the spare wheel was checked (I dare say someone looked and said "yup there is a spare there" but did not check to see that it was a CP.
Drawing out the H&S card, I feel that it was their "Duty of Care" to provide me with a vehicle that was "Fit for Purpose" but they are not playing ball etc.
They even intimated that I could have changed the tyre and am now trying to con them out off a new one. Hand on heart this is not the case.
Any advice pse on how I can resolve this as I will be out off pocket to over £100 to buy a replacement when I feel it was not my faultor is it the famous Catch 22?
