Golf Update
Issue turned out to be down to the car battery in the end. The battery was the wrong type - too small for the car. It wasnt clamped down properly and the connectors were not tightened up. Something as simple as this was responsible for the whole issue, unbelievable really.
Got the bill from the garage for just over £400 notes.
Trader has agreed to pay £190 notes but no more.
Have taken the trader up on their offer but am not happy with the situation that ive had to pay that on top of a 600 service for a car within 3 days of picking it up. If anyone wants to buy a car from Chasing Cars Online then I would suggest they get the car checked out by an expert before going through with the deal. Whether the dealer knew about the issues before the sale or not, the £400 notes bill shouldn't have been mine to deal with!
Baby Update
Pots have now come off and fingers are healing nicely which is a huge relief to us. The plastic surgeon is truly a miracle worker the way he has reconstructed the fingers without needing a skin graft and without leaving bigger scars than he has.
