Hopefully they will as it isn't my fault. the dealership miss sold a vehicle at the end of the day. To be honest, i am going to name the finance company here in a positive light. Motonovo, they have been nothing short of fantastic and helpful to me over this.

That’s excellent news. The dealership must have thought they had won the lottery.

Next time though it maybe worth getting a inspection carried out by someone like the AA or even a good local garage

Oh on that score i certainly will. Anything i buy now car or van wise, i will pay a bit of money for piece of mind and have a mechanic or the AA etc come and inspect any new purchase be for i buy it. Lesson well and truly learnt. still gutted about the van as i really wanted it but it was full of problems and would have been a money pit so i have been very lucky.

I've seen a few in a bad state but that it's terrible.
Incidentally I bought 4 (nearly new :roll: ) injectors off eBay and when I fitted them I had nearly identical symptoms to your video! Refitted mine and back to half a turn off the key to start it :lol:

But I'd reject it just based on them taking the proverbial out of you if nothing else :x
