Need advice on who to sue regarding car with damaged engine

A question about : Need advice on who to sue regarding car with damaged engine

Hi all, I need to take court action relating to my car, I purchased new 5 years ago. The engine is currently being replaced and, although I have good will, I am faced with a 4 figure bill.

Who do I sue, the garage I purchased it from or the finance company? Its all paid off, it was a 2 year 0% term. I used my Mastercard for the deposit. over Ј100.

Thanks.

P.S What is the legislation I am using?

Best answers:

• No one, Neither and None.
• Why is the engine being replaced?
  It could be you forgot to top up the oil, you used the wrong fuel so engine seized. In these cases no one as it would be user error.
  so until you can give more information then no one can answer you
• How many miles has the car covered?
• After 5 years why do you think you can sue anyone?
  Have you proved anyone else is to blame? have you gave the person who you want to sue the chance to rectify the problem? There are stages you need to go through before you can sue anyone.
• You've had it 5 years and their could be umpteen causes for this. Why do you think you can immediately sue someone?
• (((What is the legislation I am using?))
  Sale of Goods Act .
  But its up to you to prove after 5 years and xx miles the engine was not fit for purpose and you have not caused the damage .
  You say you have been given a goodwill towards the cost .
  Really at five years old that's all you can expect .
• If its a Kia with a 7 year warranty and you havent done anything to cause the problem then Kia should be paying.
  Of course you havent mentioned the type of car or why it needs a new engine so its a stab in the dark
• it also depends
  Home many miles have you done
  how is your style of driving
  what have you been using the car for
  have you been pulling caravan/trailers, a roof rack with heavy load
  I had a ford transit from new after 4 years the engine siezed, but this was down to the fact i have a heavy steel stall inside with stock and most weekends i was in and out of fields. lucky the guys at my garage gave me a deal on a refurb engine as the van had all services done by them.
  I never thought about suing anyone over this
• There was a fault with the timing chain tensioner. Google it, its a Skoda, VW also have the same fault. The milage is 30k, the engine jumped the timing chain and all the valves are bent, the local dealer along with Skoda diagnosed a new engine due to cylinder head damage. My extended warranty company (skoda!) will not cover it as its a known inherent fault.
• The part has been revised twice, but skoda won't pay for the preventative fix. It only applied to cars from 2009-2012. Some owners without full service history have had bills of 5k+. No recall as not a safety issue.
• Most people get no notice, I noticed a slight rattle a few weeks ago and had it booked in, they wanted it back the following week for further work but it failed a few days before it was due in. The failure happens when you turn the key.
• Could we stay OT please.
