Hi all. - This is a long one Sorry - 
I recently bought a car on finance from a private garage near where i live.
after around 2 weeks of use things started to go wrong.
i noticed a small oil leak - took back to garage they said they would fix it, found out it was gear box oil and a seal on the gearbox had gone - fixed...apparently.
drove on a holiday to cornwall - around 400 miles and the car leaked majorly whilst going and on arrival it had created a puddle on the drive, took to a local garage in cornwall they said that they would look at it.....again it was a seal in the gearbox but where the driveshaft had been put in wonky thus not letting it get into gear properly, I called the garage where i bought it from i offered to get the garage here to fix it but the garage here told me they would bring another car down - 400 miles !
another car arrived in cornwall - from oxfordshire - my car took back - Turbo replaced - gearbox leak fixed, lucky enough that it was covered under the warranty.
now around 6 months on after problems started - the geabox has gone again now jumping out of gears and not going into gears properly.
i have now had enough - contacted the Finance company it was with - they are sending me a claim form to fill in - i have contacted the previous owners - a company - to get more details and previous history.
the car -
54 (2004) reg Renault Laguna 2.2 DCi 5 door
done approx 77K
Ex Company Car with Full Service History
What do i do now, do i contact solicitors and get them involved, court, wait to hear what the finance company has to say?
What are the outcomes - has anyone been through this before?
Many Thanks
