Can I reject my car?

[eatcustard]

Purchased a Yaris 8 weeks ago (2009) paid £3700 for it, Aircon not working so asked him to fix when we purchased it

He did and said it was low on gas, twice more it failed and gas refiled.

This time its full of gas and it maybe the the compressor (they are not cheap), he says may not be covered under warrantee and he will look.

Now if its not covered can I reject the car, or am I being a muppet and have to pay for a fix myself.

Nothing to do with warranty, fault can be considered there at the time of sale so he has to fix it. Its the Consumer Rights Act now I believe (not SOGA).

Thanks, just found that info out, He now thinks its electrical and that is covered.


Just found a leak from it, he just told me that is covered and will be fixed.

Then we test drove the car the AC was not working, the condition of sale is the AC to be working, thed did this by refilling the gas.

It has now sprung a leak, which he said is covered.

Now because I have had the car over 30 days and say it still does not cure the fault can it be rejected, because a new compressor is £600+ (if it is that)

I dont want to reject the car as its in good condition, but the AC is not covered, except for electrical or a leak, I just want it working, so for me I want to force his hand that to really reject it.
