ok update turns out it was a number of things cant take it back as it turns out it was a private sale so iv replaces the coolant tank cap thermostate and the electric cooling fan unit problem solved but with every problem solved a new occurs or so it seems the new thermostat seems to have brocken in half leaving half in and the other half is still in so tomorrw iv got to figure out how to get the other half out
dealers cant sell as "private sale" - they have to abide by the sale of goods act!
but if yu cant be arsed - its your money.

I bought my Freelander Sold as Seen from a dealer. Got near £500 of the asking price as it had no service history and 104,000 miles so I figured the HG was likely to go soon and used that as a bargaining chip.
When I found the VCU was knackered the day I bought it I sorted it myself and when the head gasket failed a couple of months later I fixed it myself.
I guess just because you buy from a dealer doesn't necessarily mean you go back if something is wrong,

Agreed but in my case I wouldn't have trusted the dealer to do the work properly so I did it myself. Had I been paying a garage to do the work I might have taken a different line.

That's a good reason
I can't because it's a private sale isn't and the dealer knows better
