That's what I fear James...
Need to get it looked at asap, he's said he wants to bring it back on Saturday and charge me for the recovery service to bring it to Oxford. Ideally I want to avoid that, and work out what's wrong with it before he does that.

If he wants you to do something about repairs, it should IHO be on your terms, not his!  :y

Josh .. push comes to shove I could tow it from Farnbourough to you tomorrow ... .. but I only have a rope ... nowt fancy .. so if its auto thats a no-no already I guess ... :(

Farnborough is only an hour from here, but it would need the guy to steer, and then he'd have to get home ...  :(

I'm willing to help if needed ..

You are being more than reasonable in your offer of taking the car back mate - you have no obligation to cover any recovery costs (IMHO)

That is such a kind offer Entwood, it's a manual so would make it easier. But I feel that would be taking a liberty, and without power brakes aren't going to be all they should. With a tow rope there's always the possibility of damage to the towing vehicle, I couldn't take that risk with a vehicle that doesn't belong to me.
Thank you ever so much for the offer, but I'll try and find other ways if possible  :y

If the car can be transported to Josh's, I can take a comprehensive look either late this weekend, or early in the week....

I can loan you a bar Josh, but you'll still need a driver in towed car.

Futher than I would want to tow a car on a bar/rope.

Josh, any of your current cars got tow bar? Saw Transit in background of one shot, that got pikey bar? Seen notice in local MOT station which does good rates on car transporter trailers, around £30 for day i think

Thanks Tunnie, it could be simple, or could be terminal  :-/
But the fact I sold it, and the guy now has it...that's the issue. If it was still here with me, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm under no obligation to do anything about it, he test drove spent ages looking over it and it was fine. But I don't think many people would think it reasonable for me not to do anything.[/quote]



By the sound of it, this guy needs reminding of his legal position! You are going out of your way to put something right which legally is not your problem. :o :y

Unfortunately none have tow bars, the Transit doesn't and has no MOT or Tax, so that can't be used, otherise that would be an ideal vehicle really to use. I think my only course is to give him a full refund, and just get the vehicle back to me. I'm really hoping it's something simple and it can be fixed. He did say he wants to keep the car if I can fix it, but he's giving me about 48 hours to get it done. He has another car, so it's not like his stuck. I understand he's not pleased, I'm not sure how to play it. I want to try and do everything as much as he wants, but I don't see how I can.

Entwood, you're such a top bloke  :y
But I'd feel bad you going out of your way by so much, unlitmately it's my problem and don't want to cause you any trouble.
