With a 1.0 engine...
Ever driven a 1.0 Picanto on a motorway?
There's no motorways in cities?
You can always go back to the supplying dealer if a component fails within six years on any vehicle...
It's only 5 bhp less, so virtually no difference.......
In a small car, 5bhp is a lot. Besides, it makes a hell of a racket on a motorway...
I'm not sure that I would. Every person I know that has had a Fiat will not have another but you are well entitled to your opinion of course.
None in Edinburgh
Agreed all around
Where does the M8 start from/end at?
Hermiston Gait to glasgow, Edinburgh City Bypass is not a motorway
5b bhp is nothing. The torque and weight of the car are far more important factors.
yes but the burden of proof is different to a warranty claim. not saying you can't go back to the dealer, but I expect it to be more difficult than a warranty claim.
Plus the warranty is a year longer.
A dearer price?
Nothing to do with the "burden of proof". It's the manufacturer/dealer conforming to the Limitations Act of 1980, that sets out six years as the period in which actions for breach of contract must be brought.
used drivethedeal before ,really good so would use them again
It joins Edinburgh to glasgow but doesnt go within the Edinburgh Bypass,
Aberdeen
Thanks!
Used to like the old panda's with the fire engine. Cambelt snap, just chuck a new one on. Think even the tyres went rusty on them though.
Haha I have a 1.0 toyota iq and it's amazing on the motorway! Always on the 3rd lane.
Ah...I think we've found the 70mph outside lane higher.
Panda over the Kia any day . The panda feels much bigger inside for starters .
The statutory limitation period from the 1980 act can be reduced if both parties agree as was confirmed by the court of appeal in 2012 in the case of inframatrix Investments Ltd v Dean Construction
I do know of at least one chain of car dealers who have a clause in their contracts which acts to limit the period the consumer can take action under the Limitations Act 1980 .
Even if the rights under the act are not curtailed if the dealer refuses to fix the car then your next option is pursuing a breach of contracts through the courts This will require you to convince the courts that a breach of the contract has occurred . Which is why it would be prudent to consider the burden of proof in civil cases .This is by no means as simple as it sounds and could require some outlay in court costs and fees to get expert opinions to support your claim . There is no guarantee that you will successfully convince a court that a breach has occurred thus meaning you end up at a further loss . Your chances of success are reduced even further because a car dealer is more than likely going to instruct a solicitor or counsel to represent them at court .And there is much evidence presented by legal academics that points to reduced success of parties self representing when their opponents instruct someone legally qualified .
If your case does not manage to successfully convince the court that the car was subject to a manufacturing defect when it was supplied you also face the chance that the courts may well award some small costs to the car dealer ,although fortunately on the small claims track the provisions for what costs can be awarded are somewhat limited .
It would be correct to point out at this point that dealers are often reluctant to properly comply with the terms of a warranty as well . However if you do find yourself having to pursue this matter through the courts then you are going to find it much easier to argue that you would not have expected the part that has failed to have failed because it was covered by a warranty . You are less likely to need to rely on the testimony of an expert saying that the part in question should have lasted longer . And in any event you are less likely to find yourself in court with regards to this matter because usually once you complain to the manufacturer and make it clear you have a strong position and willingness to take your complaint further they comply with the warranty .
Who wants to drive this?
someone who is practical and don't care about his "image" on the roads?
