appears i have 30 days to reject it, and the fact that there is finance also on it makes it better in some way, not sure how.

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.
