    Oil leak - Reject car???

    I believe this term covers from purchase to 6 months and therefore within the first 30 days too by default. "If you discover the fault within the first six months of having the product, it is presumed to have been there since the time you took ownership of it - unless the retailer can prove...

    Oil leak - Reject car???

    Not in the first 30 days you don't. If a fault shows itself in this time, the law works on your side by stating it existed on purchase and the seller cannot ask you to prove otherwise. Personally, I would stay off the phone, put everything in writing, clearly dated. They don't have a leg to...

    Oil leak - Reject car???

    Yes mine is gone. Sent a clearly worded letter to the dealer as follows: " Following on from my letter of 10th October, it is with some disappointment that I am writing to confirm REJECTION of the car under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, Clause 22 Short term right to reject. The car is clearly...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    It was really the unknowns coming from MG Perth who have it just now. It's been in for two weeks and they said the parts that 'might fix it' would be at least two ~ four weeks away. We just felt that we were left with little choice. Reject it, possibly wish we didn't if a fix come along or keep...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Macklin Motors in Edinburgh. They were not too responsive at first but the letter to their CEO seems to have solved the issue!

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Well, mine has now been rejected. Really gutted it came to it, but we had lost faith in it. I hope that it is a simple and long-term fix that comes along soon. Going into the garage tomorrow to empty out the car and factory reset the unit to remove my personal data then hand over the keys. It's...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Well it’s not wax then as it stays liquid on mine.

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    On the basis it was liquid when I checked and the car had not been run or charged that day and it was about 10C I strongly question the wax statement!

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    So, quick update. The garage have confirmed it is NOT the breather, they thought it was that at first. MG have given them a number of scenarios and tests to go through to find the root cause. So as yet no definitive answer. At this point MG have had the car for longer then me, but hopeful they...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    I suspect it's an air intake / cooling point for the motor/gearbox as mine looked exactly the same

    Oil leak - Reject car???

    Not yet. It’s in for inspection, they think it will be mid week before they can look at it. I think it’s the reality that this is not just a single episode, the reports of leaks on all models are there. If I had not joined the forum I would not have known to look, so there could be many more...

    Oil leak - Reject car???

    So I posted on another thread my wife’s car has the oil leak and was recovered for repair. However, my wife has lost some faith in it and is considering her options. The software side is fine, we can live with that. It’s the mechanical failure that has made her consider rejecting it now. Two...

    V2L Cars to be in demand?

    I don’t understand where they can get an earth from on the V2L setup. So I would not be using one until I can get confirmation there is an earth there.

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    So, AA came and had a look, confirmed it was 'transmission oil' and that as he did not know how much had leaked, he said the car should not be driven the 80 miles or so to the Edinburgh dealer. It has not been recovered to MG Perth (my preference), unfortunately, they won't be able to look at it...

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    Unfortunately, they did not have an Orange Trophy, so Macklin in Edinburgh To be honest now less than impressed by their service team. Told him it was an MG4, to be then asked if it was still under warranty!!, When I asked if it would be safe to drive, he said, no idea, you would be better...
