Did you buy private or from a dealer? If you bought through a dealer, then you're still within the 6 month period (just) where you're protected by consumer law.
Bugger! I guess that counts as a private sale.
No sure really, talked to Citizens advice bureau and they said becouse he advertised it on his website and Auto trader under his business name, he could be liable. I'm toing and throghing with legal letters under there recommendations, but received a letter today from the dealers solicitors to say he's not liable, but I'll fight it all the way. The hardest thing is proving it had the problem prior to me buying it

Call HMRC and see what they say, I would be amazed if they were happy for a garage to advertise a vehicle on a traders website but route the money through a “friends” bank account and not account for the tax, I could be wrong but I think they would see this as some kind of business transaction in which case the garage would have some kind of responsibility. LBC have a barrister, Daniel Barnet I think, on their legal hour who gives good advice, worth a call to the station (Friday or Saturday night from memory). I don’t think there would be any comeback on a private sale so I would target the dealer
