HI All, wonder if you can maybe help me with my Stilo clutch.
I've not had the car long & bought it from a dealer. It therefore comes with a 2 month warranty against issues.
O briefly test drove it. Seemed fine and then I went back to collect it a week after. I drove it 40 miles home and no issue.
The next drive out was about 60 miles. Initially it was okay but then towards the end of the drive the clutch started sticking to the floor. Clearly not how it should be & potentially dangerous.
I rang the dealer and took it back the week after. They adjusted it and said they were now happy. But it still didn't feel quite right to me. I and the car checked over a couple of days after, which brings us to last week.
The mechanic has told me that the clutch is worn and also slips under load. I've told the dealer and he's now trying to dig his heels in. I'm going back on Saturday but I'm just wondering if anyone can show me:
A) What a worn clutch looks like
B) What the clutch should look like instead.
No doubt he is just gonna try fob me off again. But I'll be having none of it. I'll take him through Trading Standards & a small claims court if need be. He isn't getting away with it.
