[Describe problems]

Point of Law
The Consumer Guarantees Act says you can ask a trader to repair faulty goods. The problem can be big or small. However, the fault mustn't have been caused by the misuse of the product. The repair must be carried out in a reasonable time at no charge to you. If it is not, then you can claim your money back or have the work done elsewhere and charge the original retailer.
