Faulty products and limits imposed by warranties

From bitter experience I tried to enforce my consumer rights over a house. I have "won" each stage of the process except at no point will the actual amount of money be determined but rather referred to a higher court for that to be determined. The last legal quote was $2.2m as the shortfall between a full award of damages and "court costs". I was directed to involve all sub contractors and suppliers in a case to the full bench of supreme court (I thought it was the high court was "full bench") to determine how much each person would contribute to my damages. The fact I have a contract with a builder to build my house seems irrelevant in the courts.
I give up and just travel around in a motor home and remind people not to hold their breath to be protected by consumer law. Totally up to the supplier if they wish to comply.

According to a Dept of Fair Trading senior inspector I was recently speaking with, they actually have more of a problem with unrealistic expectations from consumers than there is with problematic sellers.

Anyone here that is involved with retailing will know exactly what I am referring to.

I was only reading yesterday on another forum of a guy who has bought a second hand 9 year old Hilux and thinks it has a blemish in the paint on the roof.
He has taken it to a dealer to see if he can get it resprayed under warranty
