Apparently not, they referred me to their ADR services and refused to advise me on whether I can safely drive the car or not.
My car insurance comes with motor legal but I'm not sure for 20 quid a year it's actually useful.
This kinda thing boils my piss.
I think this dealer should be pinned or highlighted in this forum, so that people know to avoid them.
If they have rejected your statutory legal right to reject the car in 30 days they are breaking the law.
They have continued to be obtuse about the facts presented to them and are instead referring you to their ADR scheme.
This should put anyone off,
Stoneacre Nottingham are refusing the right to reject on a faulty car within the 30 days.
Unfortunately you will have to use the ADR scheme (courts like it), if they do not rule in your favour (unlikely) then the courts most certainly will.
What I would do is contact the dealer making sure that you explicitly tell them that you have rejected the car within the 30 days as per the consumer rights act 2015, you should mention the reasons why you have done this. (you should mention when you first contacted them and rejected the car just for the record). Make it clear that if they do not refund you, you will be going to court.
There is no need for a solicitors letter, you can use the template found here:
Letter rejecting a new or used car bought from a dealer - Which?
Id also copy MG into any correspondence, it may make them think twice.
