Hello Matty,

Arrange a visit to your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau, and ask their advice on how to make an official written complaint to the selling dealer. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Doesn't matter if it's main dealer or not, all dealers have to comply with the sale of goods act. 

Did you put petrol in it? 

If not then it sounds like they're fobbing you off.

Is the warranty with them or through a third party? 

If purchased within the first 6 months it's responsibility of the dealer to prove the issue wasn't there when you bought it. After 6 months it's the other way around. This applies to all goods purchased with new or used.

Then there's no excuse from them to be honest

What I think Matty, is just the same - get yourself to the CAB, as I keep saying and now even boring myself.

The clock is ticking!

‘Trading Standards are dealing with it now’. 
Possibly pessimistic, but they will take all the details, give you a case number, and you probably won’t hear anything more. Meanwhile, your time limit for rejecting the car could well be exceeded. 
Would I depend on TS actually doing anything to aid your case?? No I wouldn’t.
