Without due corsa

My son bought a 2002 Corsa from a local dealer (operating from his home) on 31 August. We have now found that the radio and head unit are not in good working order -the volume control on the radio cannot be changed up or down so stays on the same fairly loud level. None of the lights in the head unit work so at night the radio isn’t lit. Do we have any comeback on the dealer to repair this please or will we just have to fix it and what is our best option for this please?

This is a 9-year-old car and your complaint is comparatively trivial. I don't think you'd get far with it in the small claims track of the county court.
