I'll be contacting my solicitor. I'll see where I stand and what I can do. I know I have rights under the SOGA1979, and I can get the car repaired/replaced or partial/full refund. I think the dealer I have bought it from won't take any blame.
I suspect you will have a fight on your hands, you need to weigh up the costs if you are paying a solicitor compared to getting a second hand engine fitted.
The garage need to prove the fault wasn't present when they sold it which in this case may be fairly easy as the car was running when you picked it up, you could try and use the noise side of it but Honda will no doubt produce a report saying that was the VCs and not related to the failure so you are back to square one.
