Because the finance company will be jointly liable along with Oscar.

I would expect the Vendor to arrange/pay for a replacement vehicle until the car is repaired to your satisfaction. My next phonecall would be to Oscar.

Why not, make your feelings known to him and get a loaner for your holiday.

Default getting worse rather than better

so the latests

after having to ring everyday, i finally got a courtesy car yesterday,

on Monday they think its the pump, but have to order a tool to test the pump, its in the workshop

Tuesday the cars outside as i collect the courtesy car , he says it will go back in the workshop as soon as the tool arrives

Wednesday (today) i take a drive down there and call him just before i arrive, Its in the workshop being stripped down, ok i need something from the car i will pop in, ok when do you think..., im outside , oh and so is the car, in the same place i last saw it.
now they are awaiting on another undisclosed part that they need to drop the engine down slightly to fit the tool. (this is probably correct procedure)

after 7 days i have no faith that its even been in the workshop, let alone that i will get it back for my holiday on friday.

he was obviously embarrased to have been caught out, and i have rang around moving it from them to someone else wont get it fixed in time so im basically up **** creek unless they pull their finger out.
