Son buys 2012 Mondeo on HP

Son adds 2 year AA warranty to hp

4 weeks later starter motor fails

Warranty sends him to Halfords

new starter

after 4 weeks new starter fails

(suspect starter wasnt stop/start starter)

Warranty say its Halfords problem, CAB say ist warranty problem, they paid halfords

finance say he has right to return goods...

:sad:

hes 24 start of sept so maybe insurance might be below £3000

Hit him over the head with something hard for buying a Mondeo. What happened to his Cab Driving career? I think that's the shortest one I've heard of.
