Hi Guys,

Bought a car last August, 50k on the clock, apparently in ok working order. However, late November, the gearbox went. Naturally, I contacted the dealer asking for a repair, which he did over a period of about 4 months.

I got it back late March, and it has seemed okay until this week when my gearbox has gone again, it's as though 1st and 2nd don't exist.

I'm wondering in anybody knows if I have any legal recourse against the dealer?

I read that under the Consumer Rights Act, they should repair and issue found in 6 months, and that their repair should fix the problem. However, though the gearbox is still clearly a problem, 6 months has passed. It does also require proof now that the issue wasn't caused by me but a bad part.

During the 9 months I've owned this car, I've only had use of it for about half that time, and both times only a couple of months before the gearbox is acting up.

Basically, I just want rid of this car now. However, does anyone know if in a situation like this, I have any course of action against the dealership?

Thank you
