Help Dealership shafting me over bill.....,

[S129]

I have a major issue with a car dealership (Robin and Day), I took my car in for MOT on the 12 January 2009 at an official Garage and as of the 14th march the garage called to say that the part arrived and the car passed its MOT, I am now being harassed for a balance to pay, however the shoe was on the other foot when I was without my car, they were not arsed.

I have raised a complaint and I am being passed from dealer back to manufacturer Peugeot UK and they are simply passing the buck while I stand here, total confused and pissed off. I personally want a little money of the bill because I have been fobbed of for 3 months, and incurred cost for transport along as well as loosing 3 mths road tax and insurance. I was then told by dealership (Robin and Day) they are not responsible and the Peugeot UK is denying responsibility because the car is 9yr old.

To cut the story shorter, the car has damages, the garage say the car was brought in that way, I argue different, the general manager said I was a liar, I replied and highlighted had the car been brought in with a smashed wing mirror and surely the MOT would have flagged this as needing repaired.

Does anybody have a similar experience and can anybody tell me if I have any rights here.
