Faulty car on finance need to return

Hi thanks for taking your time to read this hopefully someone can give me some good advice.

It's a bit of a long story but I financed an Audi A4 2.0 tdi which came with 3 months rac warranty from a second hand car garage about 250 miles from where I live (which I will never do again!!!). Since I got the car about two and a half months ago it has had various different problems the following are the ones they have paid to put right:
2x oil leaks
Lambda sensor
injector seals

But I've had to pay to have:
Rocker cover oil leak sorted
Timing belt

But the same problem remains the car continues to smoke. I have given them plenty of chances to fix the car, I want to know if I can return the car and get a refund for the payments I have made on the car and my deposit?can I also get the money back I have spent on the repairs?as the garage will be getting the car back in better condition than when I got it??

Any help will be much appreciated!!

    yes under a different id
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
