I would start by sending a letter of complaint to the company director and send a copy of that letter to your local Trading Standards office.  Also let the caravan dealer know you have sent a copy to trading standards.

If they then don't deal with your complaint to your satisfaction then trading standards will get involved and help you to sort it out.

Good luck, I have been on the wrong end of this situation before and I really feel for you.

Bit late now but the CC have this rather excellent information booklet on buying a second hand van.  Detailing what to look out for and the pitfalls.

It says that the terms of the Warrantee if provided should be written on the bill of sale.

I personaly on the first instance would visit the salesman and talk face to face about the jobs not completed, obviuosly express that youve not noticed the incompte jobs such as fire as it wasnt needed.

at this point it can also be discused about the warrenty issue,along with naytest that you feel wernt done.and then if nothing is resolved by a calm chat ask about company compliants procedure's.verbal is always best first option followed by written complaint then follwed by trading standards procedure's

the only problem you have is maybe prooving the said items left depot in that condition.

best of luck and keep us informed..oh maybe a mention of dealer with a plus or negative depending on what way it goes once its all sorted
