Disappointed with this Dealership

This being my first and it be my last experience with Grimsby cars Ltd. Purchased a mini from this dealership on a part exchange. On purchase drove the mini out of their garage onto Ladysmith road, red engine warning symbol came on. Close to Grimsby cars ltd garage. Drive back there. Their mechanic sorted out this proplem. Drive again for 20 minutes red engine warning symbol back on again. Again I returned to Grimsby cars Ltd. This time kept my car and loaned me a wreck of a Toyota. Other loan cars were out on loan. Not surprised? First eight months on owning this vehicle need two rear tyres fitting. Proof of purchase? Tyre company specified to me both rear tyres over eight years of age. And the two front tyres 4 years of age. Tyre company recommend 5 years max. internal deterioration from oxidization. Wall cracking. Explained by the tyre company direct to me. Thank them for that Next problem still in my first year of motoring with this vehicle. Brake pads red warning symbol lit up. Front pads close to damaging both discs. Cost to me? Had my first neutral MOT and shocked at the number expensive advisories. This vehicles been service at Grimsby cars Ltd and a full MOT. before any purchase. And this vehicle in that year covered 5000 miles. Decided to check the rear brake pads. Removed rear wheel found locking screw, should normally hold the hub in position sheared inside. Never seen MOT inspection remove wheels. Final gear lever, top came away whilst driving. Leaving me a sharp edge surface. Called at Grimsby cars Ltd to show Mike Croft the problem. Only to be greeted with abuse and swearing. Telling me "it's 10 year old car what do I expect" Hope any person if thinking of buying a Jaguar or a Mercedes even a Bentley that over 10 years of age beware from this garage. Because after your 6 months expires prepare for abuse? Thank goodness their are still good dealerships around. Yes same Mike Croft who at one time was a proprietor at Humber Trade Centre Grimsby.
