Hi NH Dan
The advice we recieved from trading standards was that as we are purchasing the car on HP our contract is with the finance company and not the dealer, therefore any additional paperwork should only be signed after your finance company have authorised you to do so.
Also in our case we were never told of the correct operating instructions for the handbrake at test drive or handover, I was just asked to sign the disclaimer when I collected the car after repairs. Why should I sign something that is completely inaccurate just to negate the dealers responsibility. Trading standards said the only reason we were asked to sign a disclaimer was for the dealer totry to negate there warranty obligations.
Again my advice would be find out your legal status before you talk to your dealer as they can be very persuasive and a successful outcome for you might not be the same for them.
