hi i bought a used car from a garage/dealer just over a month ago. within three days i took the car back with a few problems one of which was the water was gone which i assumed was a leak. the garage told me it was a cracked bottle and changed it but the problem continued so i took it back again to be told it was the water pump, which they changed, still the problem continued i took the car back again and the said it was the bottle cap, ehich they changed, this made the water go uicker and steam was coming out of the engine. so i returned to the garage and they said the head gasket was gone and that it will cost me £400 to have it repaired as he said a gasket can go any time i have consulted a couple of mechanics and have been told that this is untrue and by the sound of it the head gasket was well on the way out when the car was sold to me. Do i have any rights to get this replaced or get a refund?

thank you
Ricky
