[carman]

<FONT color=#000000>Hi, I recently bought a car and have had problems from day one. I was told I had 28 days warranty on the vehicle, The cars been getting fixed for two and a half days now and I,ve had the car 10 days in total. Can anyone tell me if I have the right to return this vehicle before 14 days as I,ve only done 50 odd miles in the car too. Also the brakes were not very good and I wondered if anyone knows if they are responsible for fixing them too. Thanks. Answers asap please..</FONT>

Brake pads are a consumable as are disks and therefore you should be as expectant to have to replace them as you are expectant that you'll have to fill the car with fuel.

On the otherhand if it's more serious than just brakes or disks, the warranty may cover it.  Generally you won't be able to return a car, and if you want warranty work get in touch with the dealer as they will not just take a look at your receipts and refund the costs...  (I'm assuming it was purchased through a dealer as it's not often you get a warranty from a private seller).

Mind you lethologica, if the brakes are in such a bad way that the vehicle would not pass the brake test carried out in an MOT (and Independant MOT) then the car was not fit for legal road use and therefore not fit for sale unless the purchaser was made aware of this prior to the sale.

When you get the vehicle back have an independant vehicle examination. Rac do this and it will cost about �170.00. By your description it sounds like he should'nt have to much trouble finding faults. The retailer must be given an oportunity to repair any faults and if he does'nt, go straight to trading standards and report him.
