it is his responsinility to make it of merchantable quality. yu may choose to let him repair it at his costs or get your money back in full.

I'd be returning it and spending my money elsewhere.

Ok we finally have the car back. Apparently the following parts were replaced.

Head gaskets.
Water pump
Alternator

However after a 160 mile drive today I have had to put in almost 4 litres of coolant.

Very not good. Where did the temp gauge go?

Sounds very bad as they would have had to bleed the system when they did the work so they either did it wrong or you have a leak.
Did it stop needing coolant or did you just stop driving, if it's overheated again then the head gaskets could need doing again.
Did they charge you ?
