Do Not buy a Car from these sharks

We Bought A Volkswagen Beetle from this company a month ago and due to the mileage i noticed the timing Belt would need changing. So They agreed to knock £400 of the asking price if we got the work done ourselves. So we collected the Car and brought it home. My wife didnt want to drive the vehicle until the timing Belt was done. So the car remained on our drive until the garage could do the work 7 days later. However When my wife went to take the car for the belt change it broke down a couple of miles later. The fuel line had severed and sprayed diesel all over the engine and under the bonnet emptying the tank and leaving my wife stranded on the side of a busy road. We had to have the car towed into the garage that was due to do the work on the timing belt. They Repaired the fuel lines and mentioned that someone previously had done a makeshift repair on a broken fuel line. The Bill came to over £300.00 for the repair on top of what we had already agreed to pay for the timing belt change. When i spoke to my motors .net They said they would speak to their warranty people. When they came back they said that they would not cover the bill as we should have taken the car to them (impossible when its broken down already) so we are £300.00 out of pocket and now looking to take them to court to recover the costs. Its not just about the money its also a safety issue as the fuel could have landed on the manifold causing a fire and the warranty isnt worth the paper its written on and dont believe their 200 point safety check as its obviously as good as their warranty.
