98 Ford Fiesta braking my heart

    Just looking for a bit of advice here.
    I bought a 98 ford fiesta of a garage no more than 3 months ago and the thing has been no end of trouble for me.
    I had problems with it over heating which i pursuaded the garage to fix.
    Since then i have replaced the exhaust and when i drove the car after gettin the exhaust replaced it cut out on me.
    Turns out there is a radiator leak but i also noticed a strange clicking noise and white smoke coming out of the exhaust before this happened which i have read could be a head gaskit problem, if so the car is shot?
    I have a 3 month engine and gear box warrenty with the garage should i just bring the car back with a list of problems and tell them to sort it or where do i stand?

    Bring the thing back to them and list what needs to be rectified. That's what a warranty is for

    If you are getting no joy from the garage you bought it off then have the car inspected by a reputable 3rd party, and have your soliciter put any faults found in a letter to the garage you bought it off.....that should sort it..

    Radiator leak may have been exaserbating the issue of overheating, which was probably caused by the fan not coming on. The garage sound less than reputable to be honest. Insist they fix it fully.

    Leave it with them 'till he problem is fixed. Take a loaner 'till it's sorted. Don't accept any crap. Sounds like you're gonna have to be meaner in your approach to them.
