Ford Galaxy 1.9 td 2001 - Water pump - stevegt

In January 2010 I had a new water pump fitted to the car at a final cost of £320. This week according to the garage my water pump has gone again.

They are the original garage who did the repair in 2010, they are getting on to ford as the car has only done 15000 since the original part was fitted, the 10 month warranty has run out and the garage feel that ford should offer a goodwill gesture.

I was wondering what members feel I should be paying towards the cost of this repair?

Hi Steve, sorry to hear about your misfortune.

I can't offer any advice I'm afraid as I don't know the legalities, but surely there is someone out there who KNOWS (as opposed to an opinion) about how long new parts are supposed to last under Sale Of Goods.

We all know that used goods are deemed to be as durable as the courts decide in those circumstances particular to the specific goods, but what about new goods ...... anybody???
