Sale of Goods 6 year rule

Can I return a computer (for free repair) that has yet another fault. It was repaired 3 times during the purchased 2 year warranty.

How does the 6 year rule work for me or does it.

this was snipped from the web

Many consumers have heard stories in the media that traders must provide a warranty of 2 years. In the terms of the Directive a Legal Warranty is a consumer's statutory rights given by law and an associated guarantee is offered by a third party. All consumers can be confident to know that when purchasing goods in any Member State of the EU they have rights (Legal Warranty) against the trader for a minimum of 2 years. In the UK, under UK legislation, this period is 6 years rather than 2. There is currently no legislation that states that an associated guarantee must be provided or sets a specific period of time, the legislation does mean that any guarantee provided is legally binding.

No (unless they accept it on that basis)

In simple terms, what the six year rule does is allow you the right to argue in court that the item is not sufficiently durable and thus should be repaired.

It doesn't automatically give you a right to free repairs.
