Not worth your time folks - Shocking

I purchased a vehicle back in August 2016 from Beckside 4x4 Centre. Driving it home, I noticed that braking on the motorway at 70mph there was a judder through the steering wheel. As per their ad for the vehicle = “Stunning 2 owner car many extras including sat nav, must be seen not high mileage rubbish”…….then goes on to say ”they are an approved AA dealer and offer a FREE 12 month breakdown and vehicle check……3 months Powerdrive warranty”……then stating again “3 month warranty” No paperwork offering me the free breakdown cover and no AA report given on the vehicle, which poses a question….was the car given the once over by the AA….as a bulge in the tyre should have been picked up, as well as 2 front tyres that were down to the legal limit. Yes I should have fully checked over everything, but buying from a dealer, you are expecting peace of mind and hassle free motoring. In regards to the tyres, I took the hit and put 2 tyres on. The MOT with the vehicle was done 27th July 2016 showing 181,019 miles. After checking the history....there was an advisory for 1 front tyre near legal limit....... The car was purchased on 16th August 2016 and they had put 181,000 on the receipt. Mileage was 181,326 when I purchased it, as I wrote this down before I left. While driving it home, I had to brake on the motorway at 70mph, which is when I noticed the steering juddering. I was not going to turn around, as I had a 4 hour journey there already and was shattered, and decided that I would take it up with the garage Monday morning, as my thoughts were that the brake discs were warped. When I got closer to home and got into traffic, meaning I was stationery and had to pull away then stop etc, I heard a noise as I pulled away....sounded like a poorly seal, after a few pull aways, I had my hand on the gearstick, which vibrated when the noise happened. As the garages in the area were closed at this time, I decided I would pop it down to a local garage on Monday morning.......Surprise, Suprise......New Discs and Pads needed, as these were warped and the noise like a poorly seal and judder was a clutch and flywheel issue and needed replacing. I emailed Richard with the quote from Mr Clutch, and he brushed it off towards the Warranty company.......I had to chase him the next day, and his response was :- “Hi, Sorry for the delay. I'm waiting for the warranty company to give me a call back. In the mean time what are you wanting me to do? It was mot'd last week so thought the brakes would of been ok. The clutch and flywheels are not covered under any warranty's as they are wear and tear.”
