I think your rights by law run out after 3 months, was it less than 3 months you bought it?

the gearbox when the car is in third or fifth when you lift foot on and off the throttle the gearstick is moving back and four seems as if its going pop out of gear. and its also difficult to get into other gears when cold and sometimes when the car has warmed up.

Sounds like the linkage isn't set correct or linkage bushes are knackered.

I wouldn't take it back to his garage jsut tryign to con more money out of you. As said take it a VAT approved garage and get them to sort it, or if you have got any mates in the trade?

Btw a car Trader/Dealer has to by law provide a 30day/1,000 mile warrenty, even if they dont state it.
