Problematic Corsa
I purchased a Vauxhall Corsa on finance from world of cars Newton Abbot. I have had nothing but trouble with it and everytime something goes wrong it is not covered by the warranty, even though I paid £299 for a years cover.
My timing chain is on its way out and now and I have been quoted £275 to fix it. I do not have the money and the garage have told me it's dangerous to drive what; should I do?

If you bought it within the past 6 months they have to fix it or give you your money back.
