warranty on cars bought from dealers.

[sophielou474]

i bought a used car for £5500 5 months ago. the hydrologics have gone on the clutch part. my mechanic tells me a new law was bought into place that stated all cars bought for a certain amount had to have a law warranty of minimum of 6months. is this right? if so where do i stand as my dealer (ford) are saying that it only has 3months and thats passed but they are willing to help us out by reducing the fee to fix it. my mechanic also said that by them doing that they are excepting some liability as normally they tell you to go away. help as i have to get it sorted asap and have 2 small children and no car but dont know whos right. and what by law i can do.
