bought a car from this guy 6 weeks ago!The day we bought the car the engine management light came on and it went into limp mode, they stated that they had fixed the fault and then returned it. It was a faulty o2 sensor. Two days later the same issue appeared, again they assured me that it has definitely been rectified. We had the fault checked over by someone else and it turns out that the o2 sensors were never replaced in the first place, they had just been erasing the fault and returning the car. He agreed to a refund when I made him aware that we knew he was just conning us. We have had to fight everyday for weeks to get him to collect the vehicle and issue us with a refund. He dragged his feet, having the cheek to complain that he's been left out of pocket for the money it cost him to recover the car. For 6 weeks we have had to pay out insurance and tax on a car that has been out of action because him and his dodgy mechanic Steve just kept clearing the fault code and returning the car to us. He never gave us an invoice or proof of parts that were changed when asked (because no parts were changed) and his son also ran up a parking charge on the car on the day the ownership was transferred into my name. We have finally had a refund in full but it still doesn't erase the way we have been treated.
