Believe me, this leak was more than just a leak.

He was just a trader, not a main dealer. I think he must have known the leak was bad as he accepted it back (nice guy) I am hoping it is "something and nothing" or else I'd hate to be the next person who brought the car. Unfortunately I dont have the money myself to take that gamble.

Thanks for the support (some of you not :(). I have returned my car - due to it not being fit for purpose. I have my money back. The leak was massive and as I said, was obviously a problem that was more than blocked drainage. I took legal advice and am glad to say it never come to it (not for...

Cash unfortunately. I do have the traders receipt though.

You havent read the full thread have you? Its the massive leak thats the main issue - leading to me finding out this other stuff. Would you except a car full of water that 3 days after purchase when the snow melted (and ever since) had to keep mopping up in rain with bath towels - thats how...

Hi, had no other Cups before. Im OK with the fact it may have been in a bash, but when its gonna cost half a grand just to find the cause of the massive leak then its an issue. Woulsnt been too fussed otherwise. Dont want to give the car up. Im taking it back tomorrow however, on advice. Im not...

On advice from the bodyshop, it could be from some of the dodgy panels which have been replaced / welded. Since water is not coming in from the usual places. All seals / drainage tubes have been checked by Renault

The trader is syill obligated to sell a car that is fit for purpose. This car, in rain, is not.

Look, the leak has been there as soon as the snow melted. Hers still a trade -I say leak - its a swimming pool when it rains. Renault have checked the main drainage. Its not right and my solicitors have advised accordingly. I have no beef, I just want the car as it should be for £4000. Not some...

Thought people on this site were supposed to be helpful, not offering negative. I have gone to solicitors. Why do you know better?

Think you'll find under the Sales of goods act this classifies as unsatisfactory quality. - I think I am entitled. Apologies if you are in the legal trade, but have paid for advice on this.

Its not listed as a write off - but the guys reckon it probably was not far from it. When we first lifted the carpets, we found tiny bits of shattered window glass under there...its all piecing together now.....

Hi all, Its a good job I did go to a bodyshop. I got told it looks like my car has been in a bad accident - showed me where panels looked out of alighnment - welding joins in the boot etc. He advised to get an independant inspection of the car and get money back from owner. So I have taken...

Havent got a clue..all I know is he clocked me, had a great car, what appeared to be a mk3 bodykit??

Pics??? i woz driving past!!! Didnt have my camera to hand..

Hi Guys, Was hoping to come but the cars still a pool of water and 2moro the insides gonna be stripped out so I cant guarentee my attendance at this mo. Fingers crossed and with any luck I'll be along, will keep you updated Caz

Exactly...suppose its stripping the interior etc...wouldnt mid but have only had the car under 5 weeks and the leaks been going on 3 days after I purchsed it! However, have rung a bodyshop (who have never heard of an untrasonic devise) and they will take a look tomorrow afternoon...fingers...

Well, I rrug around a few bodyshops in my area - either they hadnt heard of it or didnt have one..why I resorted to Renault

If its YOU, nice car!!! How much the body kit cost its sooo nice:)

Join the club... (see thread on leak is back!!)

Hi All, Sad news on the leak front...Renault have done their basic checks and cant find it?! Apparently I'll need to take it in for more diagnostics for the bargain price of "3 hours labour and £308.43 inc" :eek: So basically half a grand just to locate the problem... So, I phoned the guy...

Yeah, heres hoping. I hope mine dont start stinking...suppose its the after effects of the wet...nice. I'll post pack on this thread, next Friday, where the leak is coming from...it can only help others

Cheers, Actually...bit of good news (for once!!) the guy whom sold me the car has phoned me back :D Im just so pleased. Instead of him trying to locate the leak Im still gonna get Renault to find it and if its gonna cost to put right then the guy whom I brought it from will fix it for me...

Hi, the seatbelts are dry, the scuttle has been checked, the rear of the car checked - no damp under the seat, or tyrewell etc. Sills look "ok" and seals around the passenger door look fine so I think, your suggestion of taking the carpet out to check will be my first port of call tomorrow. I...

Fraid not...guess that means their under no obligation to deal with the problem? :dapprove: Anyhow, I'm getting Renault to check it out and tell me whats causing it. I cant keeping having this guy ripping my interior in and out. Just hope its not a big issue as it could end up costing me...

Ok..so even if we purchase a car - from a garage / trader then there is absolutely no resopnsibility for anything major unless we buy a brand new car off them? Surely not??

It was a guy who is a trader - he trades from his home and deals with a garage, but he is a registered car trader - my receipt has his trading name on. Anyhow, when I found the leak 3 days after I purchased the car, I mopped it all up myself and hoped it was just lots of snow that may have...

Hi, well he was a trader not private so I would have hoped that if the car has an immediate fault then they should surely help me fix it?! I know its different with cars but if I brought something from a shop which was faulty then I would expect a replacement or for it to be fixed. Ive only had...

Hi, thanks for the tips, I'll have a check on this at the weekend.

Hi, my car has no air con. They checked the scuttle and that was clear, sealed up bung holes in the rear of car...no joy...the passenger floor, especially right under the drivers seat is flooded. Not too sure if its rain or driving in the rain??
