I've not been on here as much in recent years but i've often got good advice,

anyways, i baught a 2005 landrover discovery 3 tdv6 for £16k from a garage in middlesbourgh 5 weeks ago,

so i took it home to aberdeenshire and whilst reversing i noticed the sensors don't work, the next day the petrol cap opened itself and wouldn't stay closed and then there was clunking coming from the front, so i called the garage i bought it from and they told me to put it into a garage and get it checked out and get them to call them with there findings,

so 4 weeks later (monday) because of a waiting list at landrover aberdeen they emailed me all this....

now when i baught the car i got a 'warrenty 2000' to a total of £1000??

so now a guy from that warrenty company is going into landrover aberdeen on monday to have a look at it....no idea why? surely he doesnt believe landrover mechanics


so... do you think this garage would pay to sort all that or do you think they would take it back?

im shitting it incase they try to fuck me off with that bill but clearly they dont have a leg to stand on as ive only had it 5 weeks..

whats your thaughts?
