Sooo bought a ford fiesta for my missus, a 2017 1.0 ecoboost plate with 22k on the clock...
We have done exactly 700 miles and I returned to find it had dropped all its oil on the floor.
Took it to a local garage and they are claiming the seals on the crankshaft have gone...
Phoned up the dealer that I purchased the car from are claiming its wear and tear, I've never heard of a car blowing it's crankshaft seal after less than 23k. Miles.
So now I'm stuck down Cornwall with the family as without a car and the dealer are basically telling me to do one.
Am I under the consumer act of 2015 as there is no way this fault just occurred and I must have been sold a dud.
No oil leak when I brought it but that could have been cleaned up before I booked to look at it.
