Ford Focus ST - Satisfactory Quality? - Keep_Portland_Weird

I have owned my '02 Focus ST for just 10 days and I am having gear linkage problems - I have been told that I will need new gearchange cables. This was not pointed out to me when i purchased the car. The Warranty sold with the car specifically excludes any external gear linkages.

My question is whether I can go back to the dealer and claim that the car they sold me was not of 'Satisfactory Quality'?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

If you phone up the Citizens Advice Beauraux they will point you to the right bits of the Sale of goods act, but if you have had a majour mechanical fault within 10 days then they have to put it right, as the assumption will be made that the fault was present at the time of sale.

Keep notes of times you contacted your garage, who you spoke to and what they said.
