Common Mistakes - Don't be a newby!

A few tips to get you started on our forum 1. Try an introduction first, simple Hi, and description of your Evoque it's model, year and spec really helps, the Evoque has been out 10 years, there are a lot of variations. Pictures go down really well. 2. Don't be like a troll, it may get your...

Did you buy private or from a garage?

 

if you've brought from a dealer I would contact them as you should have a warranty I hope in place....

 

And your 6 month statutory rights. 👍🏻

 

When you press the clutch pedal can you feel a pressure/resistance or none ? If no pressure could be hydraulic issue like the “slave cylinder” needs bled. If there is pressure I would guess a clutch issue. Without the engine running can you select all gears easily ? If yes I doubt it would be a gearbox issue.

Good luck.

 

Update: Thanks for the reply's. So i contacted a lot of local garages and no one wanted to know saying it sounded like a massive job. But managed to get a quote from one, and their saying its possibly the gear box from the sound of it. The guy was great and went through everything while i was on the phone.

But now its going to cost around 3k for looking at/ fixing the gear box, fly wheel and clutch. But no where has them in stock and their on back order from Jaguar LR.

So i contacted the finance company and the garage i got it from and i am in the middle of fighting to get them to pay for it. What are my statuary 6 months rights, as i thought it was 3 months.

 

Hi,
Look up consumer rights act 2015 on citizens advice.
If it develops a major fault you can reject it for a full refund within 1 month. Within 6 months you must give the seller one chance to fix it, if they don’t then you can reject it for a full refund.
It is nothing to do with warranties, finance or anything and garages know this but try and hide their liability behind warranties and agreeing partial payments with you. The liability is theirs and theirs alone.
Have a read there are also template letters to use either on there or on martins money saving advice. Everything must be in writing, the garage should have said very sorry we will fix it but they are car salesmen so won’t.😂 they are professional snakes at avoiding paying.
You will win this one with major faults and the law is on your side.
Good luck.

 

You absolute superstar thank you sir. Going to get on it now.

 

Hi! I’m just wondering where you got to with this and what it was? I’m having exactly the same issue with mine.
