Default warranty question - statutory/ sale of goods etc - advice req'd please

So here's the situation. I bought my Alhambra on 12/9/12, car is 2001 51 plate, bought with 127,500 on clock and now just turned 130k. I was told when I bought it there was a 3 month warranty, now due to an issue developing, the sales guy has decided there was a 2k mileage limit and won't deal with a repair under the 'warranty'. The problem is its stripped the splines off the driveshaft and possibly caused some damage in the gearbox, so not looking to be a cheap fix.
Now, the garage want me to either pay full amount myself, or maybe willing to go 50/50, but I've only had the bloody thing for 2 months, no mention was made of a mileage limit when I bought it, and I can't find my receipt to check. Is there any kind of statutory warranty that should apply? I haven't ragged the car, so its not my driving that's caused this, and I'm obviously not best pleased this has happened. And before anyone says it, I'm not expecting an 11yr old car with 130k to be perfect, but surely I shouldn't have expected this happened?
So, is there any kind of statutory warranty he should have supplied, ie, sale of goods etc, or am I basically f*cked?
