Engine failure after 3 months - what should I do?
I bought a used Toyota Corola two and a half months ago. The car was sold with a three month warranty and cost £2750. This week the engine has failed, with a suspected timing chain failure. What can I do?

The dealer who sold you the car can probably be held liable. Make contact with him. Law here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/consumer-rights/
