170 Carrying out of duty to repair
(1) Regulations may make ancillary provision with respect to the
carrying out by a dealer of the dealer's obligation under section 168
in respect of a defect in a motor vehicle, and may in particular (but
without limiting the generality of the foregoing) provide that,
according to circumstances specified in the regulations:
(a) the obligation is dependent on the person seeking to enforce it
delivering the vehicle at that person's expense to a place
determined in accordance with the regulations; or
(b) the obligation is dependent on that person delivering the
vehicle to a place so determined, but at the dealer's expense;
or
(c) the dealer is, for the purpose of carrying out the obligation,
under a further obligation to collect, or arrange for the
collection of, the vehicle at the dealer's expense.
(2) Where a person delivers a vehicle to a place in accordance with the
regulations, and the regulations provide for the delivery to be at the
dealer's expense, the person may recover the cost of the delivery
from the dealer as a debt due and payable.
