Shady Dealership- Do not buy from them!!

I honestly would not advise anyone to buy a car from Happy Car Sales, it'll leave you sad and frustrated with less money in your account. I purchased a 2006 Vauxhall Corsa from Bodrul at happy car sales at the start of November 2019, and I was told that I had a 3 months warranty. I was told that if anything went wrong with the car I could bring it back to them and they would sort it out which put my mind at ease. I didn't use the car for 3 weeks in November as I was away working in France. First week in January 2020 I got into the car ready to go to work in the morning when I notice that my ABS and hand brake warning lights were on and wouldn't go off. I drove it to the nearest garage where I was told that there was a fault with the ABS pump and that whoever sold the car to me had done a lot of shady wiring to bypass the ABS. I immediately called Bodrul from Happy car sales since I bought the car from him and told him what the guy from the garage had said about the car fault. I was told to take the car to a garage in Northampton which I did (this is the garage used by Happy car sales), this is the same garage that issued the MOT to Happy Car sales when I bought the car (which means that MOT issued was falsified) . After a couple of days I got a call that everything was fixed and I could come pick the car up again. The car worked fine without the warning lights coming on and I thought that was the end of it. I didn't use the car for the most part from March until August due to the lockdown but I would start the car a couple of time every week. In August 2020 the warning lights came on again and I had to take it to the garage to get it checked only to be told that nothing was fixed back in January 2020. The ABS was still bypassed and all that was done was some wiring to keep the warning lights off. Again I rang Bodrul as I was really disappointed but my worry and concern was only met by rudeness and anger. I was told that my 3 months warranty was up and there was nothing he could do. It will cost me approx £1,218 to buy the ABS from Vauxhall and over £200 for labour costs. I would never ever buy a car from a shady dealership like this ever again and would not advise my worst enemy to buy one of their shady cars.
