hi, I would be grateful for any advice. I brought a car from a garage 2 weeks ago for £4000. car was smoking badly and therefore I got it secice by kwik fit and got an independant report done. findings were injector issue, turbo pipe leak, brake discs under limit, tyres under limit and clutch slipping. Ive contacted the dealerti reject but he's being funny and not assisting. after many letters I've now filed for small claims court. do I have any chance? any assistance much appreciated

This is someone else's thread you've hijacked and the advice has been tailored to them. You need to start your own thread if you want meaningful advice.

there is a display on the dash that displays oil levels

are you sure it displays oil level and not oil pressure?

some interesting info here
https://gobdp.com/blog/causes-blown-head-gasket/

did you test drive the car?
have you noticed any fluids under the car where you park?
if the gasket was blown at point of sale you'd have known about it, so in all honesty i don't think the dealer has deliberately sold you a broken car. Out of curiosity what make car was it and what age is it?

would like to add i do not work for the link above nor am i promoting their product, google search pointed me to that link.
