Hi I am new to this forum having just bought a 13 plate dsport plus 10 days ago.
I didn't manage to drive it off the forecourt due to it having an engine fault which apparently the dealer said was a faulty alternator. They have now changed it which took a week and I picked it up yesterday.
This morning the fault alert reappeared and I took it back. I have been told it is the same fault code as before but they now reckon the stop start part has broken and they need to replace it.
First question is does any of this sound likely? I was surprised the alternator was faulty as the car has only done 26000 miles.
Second question would you stick with the car or give it back?
Third has anyone had the same sort of problems? Would a faulty alternator cause the Eco system to also fail?
