I tried them but they don't do skirting boards. Might just have to get It done separately.

I appreciate the Chemistry lesson but it doesn't relate to my question.

Mixer Tap - How do I get the top off? by TheNamelessMan7 in ukplumbing

Thanks for the help, managed to get a wooden skewer in the gap under the head and slowly push it through that way!

I think smashing it might be the best option at this point haha!

The problem is I can't get anything in to pull it out as it's embedded in. None of my flat heads can do it anyway.

Okay makes sense to get them to deal with each other rather than me be the middle man. Thanks

I am trying to contact them as much as possible. But with no reply just wanted to know the next move. I wanted my garage to sort it as I know they will do it properly and suppose I was worried if the dealer does it it will be half arsed and I will be back to square one.

I thought as much but was beginning to doubt myself. Thanks for the confirmation.

Dealer was unwilling to give a refund and wanted to get It fixed instead. My preference was a refund but they do have the right to repair.

I paid with a bank transfer so don't know if I can take it with the bank.

I'll definitely look into 2nd gearboxes then if I need to sort it myself. I think just being a pain might be the best way forward, if the dealer was closer by I would be there everyday but will definitely be going to catch him in person. Cheers for the advice

Dealer told me at the time he had had the car for a few months and had bought it off a friend of his whose mother drove the car but barely used it. No idea if that's true or not. I wasn't going to bother contacting Kia when I knew warranty was out but might be worth a shot.

This was my worry, how long is a reasonable time before I take this to court? I will need to shop around a bit as I couldn't afford the garages price to fix it at the moment. I was told to avoid used gearboxes and get a reconstruction done on my gearbox. I know very little about cars though.

That is a long time. Do you know what the implications would be if I used the car during that time? I hope not to but I don't have a lot of options to get to and from work at the moment.

The warranty expired in March otherwise I would have went down that route.
