I bought a 2005 Ssangyong Rexton with 143,000 miles on the clock from a dealer two weeks ago. When I bought the car the seller told me that there was an intermittent engine light problem, but he said he had investigated it and it was nothing. The car also had its oil topped up prior to collection and need a jump start, due to its battery being flat – again the dealer said this was nothing as the car had been standing a long time.

I bought car at £300 discount, but the faults were nothing to do with the discount, we had established the reduction before I even saw the car. They also gave me three months warranty. I took car home, next day didn't start had to jump off, in fact everyday needed jumping off. I drove it four days in total then discovered diesel leaking from the injectors.

I told the garage the engine light wasn't intermittent, the battery was shot and the oil leak was in fact injector seals and I was told to get the work done then claim on the warranty, But i have to pay first, which I can’t afford to do. The seller has also refused to replace the battery, claiming it’s wear and tear. Am I entitled to ask them to pay for the repairs, or send the car back to them to fix or am I entitled to money back?
