Seller refused to repair faulty car - what can I do?

I bought a 2005 Chrysler 300C for £7500 in March. A month later the swirl flap motor failed. The car has been at the dealer for a month now. The selling garage refuses to accept responsibility under the sale of goods act. They say the £1000 repair is down to me. What can I do?
