So I've had my Freelander around a month and done just under 300 miles of which 185 of those was driving it back to where I live. Last week I noticed a leak coming from the back of the car drivers side near the wheel which was diagnosed as diesel (I posted this in the Freelander section). When I left the dealer RAA Sales in Wilmslow Cheshire,upon picking the car up they said to me that any problems I have a 3 month warranty where I pay for labour and they will pay for parts. I rang them explaining the situation with the leak and they said to seek a quote locally and get back to them. I booked it in to let the garage look at it and they decided it needed fixing as they considered it dangerous. They investigated the leak and fitted a new fuel filter which on a Freelander means taking a few things off to get to the part. They then contacted RAA Sales with the quote who advised them the filter was costing to much and not to fit it. The local garage rang me explaining that they already fitted it as they had the car in bits and went ahead with the £19 filter and advised me RAA Sales wasn't happy. I said I will pay the bill and ring RAA Sales myself but in fact they rang me minutes later advising me to take the car elsewhere for another quote or drive it 185 miles to Wilmslow baring in mind diesel would have been still leaking and they would look at it but there was no way they were paying the final bill of £79 + VAT. I've paid it and now out of pocket. How do I stand legally
