    Hi, I'm looking for some advice.
    Bought a car from a garage in Dublin 15 days ago.
    First day engine management light comes on, I ring the garage and he gives me number for his mechanic.
    I ring said mechanic and he tells me to bring car into him.
    He puts it on diagnostic and it was intermittent turbo problem. Said it's prob just from lying up on the forecourt and he reset it but if it happens again to ring him and he will order the part.
    Next day light re appears, I rang mechanic he says he will get garage to ring me.
    No call from garage so I ring again, tells me he will defo ring me next day.
    Of course he doesn't so I ring the garage tells me to bring the car into him, I said I'm working I won't get in til Tuesday (this was prev Thurs 7 days after purchase).
    So I ring him on the Tuesday to make sure and he tells me to bring to a different mechanic who worked in main dealers for this car for 13 years.
    Diagnostic revealed a different fault with turbo, reckoned was an easy fix and common fault with them cars. I said I'm not driving back in again tomorrow so garage gave me courtesy car and I left it with them. Rings me weds to collect car but I couldn't get in til yesterday *thursday)
    Collected car from garage and now the light has come back on, the mileage clock beeps and goes to zero at random and back again and the radio has gone haywire.
    Am I entitled to go and get my money back as I'm sick of driving in and out with the car and being given the runaround.

    Apologies for long post
