Forst off can i start by saying hi 😀 my 1st post.
right now to the problems i got my fiesta from a trader. Long story short they ripped me of and took it back they accepted it was not right and got it so called fixed to find out they just took the car for a couple of days and did nothing amd they wont give me my money back so im having to go to court just put of curiosity with the diagnostic results how much would it cost to get right

Sad to hear, codes don't always show the full problems

Robert Hanson

So it could be worse hope not as i need my car to take my kids to school they know i needed it for that and is this a hosepipe they used for the fuel pipe

andrewmctiernan

Is it not pointing to the fuel pump? Poor engines in these cars in my opinion

Robert Hanson

Ye thats the fuel pipe from what the diagnostic mechanic said he told me ecu the the fuel pump is going and the engine keeps reving its self as well when turning over it with clutch down it was all so randomly stalling as well of losing power shame as i love the car but i feel like iv been ripped off and iv no money to get a nother car and taking it to court is a long process mot is due in 8 weeks

andrewmctiernan

How long have you had it and why did you buy it with such a short test?
How much was the car

Caddyshack

You are well protected under U.K. Law, the dealers just need to sort it or stop being bullies. Can you explain that it must be fixed and new MOT or you will follow the legal process and make sure every social media available has lots of info written about them?

andrewmctiernan

They don't have to mot it again

Robert Hanson

I checked there reviews and was all good so didnt think they would do this to me and trading standards said i have to send them a letter if no reply in 28 days iv to take them to a smalls clame court they said they fixed it but lied about it and when the boss was in they was 4 of them 1 of me and he was a right tool trying to scare us in saying they is nothing i can do and trading standards will find it funny it was 500 i know ita not alot to most but with a family of 4 its hard to save that kind of money its like they will get away with it and im out of pocket

Caddyshack

No but most people buying a car can expect an MOT, if the car has problems then as a good will gesture it would make sense to help give it a clean bill of health, it is what I would ask for.

Caddyshack

Go to small claims then, if you push hard enough you will get what you want.

Robert Hanson

Just i got 8 weeks to get it sorted

andrewmctiernan

So the car was 500 quid? How long have you had it

Robert Hanson

11 days they had it 2 days for there so called repairing they didnt do

Hope Fastlife91 hasn't worked on it...

andrewmctiernan

You bought a car for 500 quid with 2 months mot, you'll struggle in small claims

Robert Hanson

From what trading standards said i shoud be fine had to take one of my kids to a&e on way back it just lost all power thats the last straw im going to car place and demanding my money back and i wont go till i got it il never trust any one with a car again i dont know any thing about them i will admit that

andrewmctiernan

I'd suggest taking someone who does and don't buy a small diesel next time
