That EU Directive about 2 year warranty

[the groutch]

can someone please clarify this for me?
I am about to sell something I've had for about 9 months and would be great if when selling it I can say that it's got 15 months left on it's warranty

when you buy something there is a contract between you and the retailer, when the item is sold on to someone else there is no longer a contract with the retailer. the only recourse available to the new purchaser would be the manufacturer warranty unless they stipulate their warranty only covers the original purchaser.

the new buyer has no statutory rights, but may have the remaining period of a manufacturer guarantee/warranty

The 2 year directive was not implemented here because our statutory laws provide greater protection.

but because you are selling the item on the buyer has no statutory rights regarding the item unless you were prepared to give a personal guarantee and stand over the item.
