Hello all. Quite new to this site (been on Money Saving Moron for a while) and was wondering if you could give me some advice.

Bought a car in good faith with full MOT etc. However, after I got it home I noticed that there were big holes in the floorpan. I think the whole thing has rusted and fallen out on the way home.

Anyway, I've been harassing the private seller about it (someone called Fred) and he is saying it's nothing to do with him. He said the car was advertised correctly etc and stated all known faults (which include dodgy aircon, terrible MPG and a bad water leak from somewhere in the roof). Pic of car below.

Where do I stand with this? I'm intending to take him to court, then the UN and NATO etc. Thanks all.

The problem is, I have children and I've been told it's a death trap.
