Reject the car under the sale of goods act, you should expect a car that is fit for purpose one that loses water rapidly from an undetectable fault is not usable.

Good to know this ill see what they say

Garage should have a pressure tester for the coolant system. You need to pump it up to about 12-15psi. That should show any leaks.

My guess is they've run around locally getting parts etc never got it stinking hot.

Insist they fix it PROPERLY and provide receipts and service log entry for the work done.

"He also told me that the head is fine and been checked" is that on the service history? why was it taken off? You dont go to all that work and expense (new gasket, bolts etc ) for no reason. Looks more fishy by the minute.

My gut feeling - tell em to stuff it.

Just spoke to the garage and they said car is ready to collect and that it's 100% NOT losing water.

It's going into another garage on Monday to be pressure tested so will take it from there...

maybe water pump???

maybe water pump???

Am getting this changed on Monday quite a few people have said it may be that so let's just see what happens hopefully its something along them lines
