Faulty car on finance! Help!

Hi guys so basically just Gunna explain everything from start to finish as I feel like I am stuck and in need of some advice what to do next,

I purchased a car through a dealer in Manchester and I live in the south west Devon it was a peugeot 308cc 2009 and they sorted me the finance too, the car cost £5000 and as it is on a hp agreement for 5 years I will repay back £7440, I put a 500 deposit down on the car went up there with my boyfriend on the 24th sept 2017, we collected the car the dealer didn't bother even showing us around the car, also the car came with a year free breakdown cover and also a 6 month warranty, he told me normally they give a 500 pound claim limit but for me for some reason said he was going to put the claim limit to 1000 which made me a bit suspicious but couldn't wait to get my pretty convertible Peugeot, never the less, I left the dealership with my boyfriend and there was a strong smell of burning oil coming through the vents, my fella suggested that it's probably where they did the service and spilt a bit of oil during the change, on the drive back from Manchester to Torquay every time I kept slowing down there appeared to be humming noise under my footwell, I'm a 23 year old female don't know much about cars thought it was just the way the car was....

3 weeks of having the car I had a flat tyre, now I know this is no one's fault but when I pulled over to change the tyre I had no spare tyre in the boot floor nor no tools to change it!, i rang there aa and they wouldn't come out to me cause I wasn't far enough away from my postcode, I rang the dealer the following day in frustration and he agreed and told me to go to a nearby scrap yard and buy a tyre and a Jack and he will give me the money for it,I went to the scrap yard twice to be told no spare tyres of my size this is frustrating when you work a full time job !,

A week after this the car was still smelling of burning oil, my boyfriend and my dad suggested there must be a leak due to all the oil over and smoke coming from the engine, we took it to a garage and was told the rocker cover gasket needed replacing, the next day I rang the dealer and was told to ring the warranty and see if they can do it. Thankfully my claim was approved of 170 quid to repair the rocker cover gasket however they wanted an extra 50 quid on top for Labour to steam clean my engine so I would notice a difference, when I rang the dealer to ask them to fund this, i was told by the mechanic to diy it myself! And that I was being ripped off, anyways we decided to pay it and have done with it...

2 weeks later the car still had a smell of oil and when I was starting the engine I was getting a depollution fault so once again I rang the dealer complained he told me to get it looked at and find out what work needs doing by now I am really not Happy, so then I took it to another local garage to be told it needs a new electric water pump, it has 3 OIL LEAKS! And all of the tyres were near the legal limit and also the humming under my foot well ? It was a buckled alloy meaning the inner part of the alloy was defected, I don't know how this car even made it through an mot ? Like how was any of this not picked up ?! Also the dealer sold me the car on the basis of fully serviced with full service history to be told that the car is 9000 past it's service!, I broke down in tears to mechanic and was quoted over 800 pound for the job so with that absolutely fuming I rang the dealer complained to them he said he didn't want to pay all that money and his mechanic will do it cheaper, I thought well I have no choice but to give them the chance to rectify this faulty sale.. with that unfortunately they arranged for another one of there lemon cars as a courtesy car for me, so they drove all the way down from Manchester to take away my car and leave me with another faulty Peugeot 307cc tracking completely out bearing to the left, the car had a flat tyre aswell when I had it and the spare in the boot was flat too! And it cut out on me once! (No chance i stalled as I only drove automatic!), anyway i had a bit of a rowdy phone call with them as i wasnt very happy to say the least.. 5 days later just before christmas 2017 i finally had my car back, when the guy brought my car back he offered me to take it for a spin to see how i feel now credit where it is due, they did put 4 new tyres on the car and new brakes and and he apparently fixed the buckled wheel and there was no faults appearing I was so happy until I pulled back into my drive to speak to him to let him know how I got on, he was reversing the courtesy car out and then reversed it in just after I pulled in and he wasn't looking and he smashed straight into the back of my car my boyfriend had to bang on the boot of his car to stop him reversing, my boyfriend said the bumper popped in and popped out and thankfully there was only a scuff I decided to let him slip because I was generally happy and you could only notice the scuff if pointed out... that's got to be the end of the nightmare right ? ....

So 4 days after having my car back again the depollution fault has came back on, the mechanic told me he would send me the invoices but has taken over a month send me them and I have seen the invoice for brakes every thing else but not the electric water pump which I was told was the main issue with this depollution fault.... last night I drove out of town, after driving for 45 mins we stopped and I decided to take the roof down as I like to do it every 4 weeks to prevent it from seizing, well it went back like a glove I drove for 5 mins pulled over and I went to put it back up and the roof fault came on and the roof was stuck half open with the boot open no matter what I did it was stuck, I had to ring the aa to come out to me when the guy came out he had to manually fold the roof back it which took over 1hr and he asked me if the car had had a bump or the wires looked like they had been tampered with before, now I have a car that I've got over 4 years left to pay the roof doesn't work and will need to be 're configured which can cost over 1000, it's constantly beeping at me the roof isn't properly locked in, I can't sleep because I'm worried about leaks, I've got faults on the screen engine management light constantly on.. I'm heartbroken because I love the car.... i need advice what are my rights? what can i do? Where do i go from here, I've loged a complaint with the finance company, please help any advice would be helpful and very much appreciated, I don't want to reject the car because I've currently gone into a DMP and that is on my priority debts and there is no way I will get approved of another. The roof was working fine in the beginning of December because I took it down then, could the bump he did cause a problem with the roof ?
