got a gearbox from Home - Mr Engine.net Specialists in Engines Gearboxes and Cylinder Heads has been fitted BUT is worse than the one that came ouy of my car! the replacement unit buzz's and slips in 1st.
phone said company and they said they will out another unit. but my mechanic is not going to change another gearbox for nothing, IS there anything i can do???

 

the people who supplied the gearbox should pay the labour charge upon inspection of faulty component supplied.

 

as a consumer are my buying rights the same on second hand goods as they are on buying new?

 

You have bough from a trader, that is what is important as the trader has legal obligations and you have statutory rights. Basically, if the gearbox is not fit for purpose then you can expect a free of charge replacement or repair.

I could drum up lots of trade for my sister as this is her area, but she is overworked at the moment, so these people are worth a try for free advice
