Need a bit of advice please I purchased my disc 4 sdv6 in June and two days ago it became undrivable do I have any recourse with the dealer attached video of the racket the engine makes. It tics over and pulls well but the noise is frightening sounds like a loud clacking noise the increases with revs
 
You would be best off taking proper legal advice, check your warranty and speak to the dealer who sold it to you.
We can offer an opinion of course, is this the same engine that has a habit of snapping the crank, think it might be?
 
I think it is 6 mths in the UK, but I also believe up to a year you can get your money back as not fit for purpose or expected to last a sensible period of time, which obviously 6 mths is not.
Ignore the warranty bit as your dealer will steer you that way so it is not their problem, they the dealer are responsible and once you go warranty route you might have issues.
If need be pay for legal advice as it will pay dividends.

Ps no video on your post.

Google sdv6 crankshaft /engine issues.

With the finance co behind you I reckon you will be okay, maybe some deduction for miles covered etc, but should get your money back, one of the only good reasons to get finance in my opinion.
