Hi,
I have a Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 55 Plate. (peugeot engine) 157k
I had the turbo (part number 1335262) go and got it replaced by a mechanic close to my work. He replaced it and said 'about three months warranty'
It has not even done 2000 miles since and is approx 3 months 25 days later and the turbo has gone. I realise that he said 3 months and we accepted it but surely after spending £441 to supply and fit I can expect more than 1500 miles and more than 4 months. Is there any laws to this type of thing? I believe when you buy a new car, if you have an issue within the first six month then it is believed to have had that issue when you purchased it and yo can get some help from trading standards. Is there anything similar for this type of bad luck????
Please help as my boyfriend spent all his money fixing this car and now its worthless :-(
many thanks,
yours desperately
Aimee
