My Freddy...unsure where to start!!!

[dirtyripper]

Hi, i recently bought my first 4x4 and was really excited bout it....and for the first time in a long time was looking forward to being able to going out for a drive no matter what the weather!!!
Anyway...so me and hubby bought this what looked like a fab car.....now we starting to regret it... we feel like we may have been done over...just alittle!!
the person we bought it from didn't know much bout the car and wasn't really helpful...we just gathered he didn't know much bout cars and took him at face value.
It wasn't till we got home and managed to go over the car properly the problems starting to unfold......
apart from the heater matrix knackered....the back window not working...the speedo not working.....the most worring thing is theres this herrific clanging noise...to the extent its embarassing!...this noise is on starting and when driven the noise gets worse...
we think the turbo could be going on it but we are worried bout that its not just the turbo its the bottom chain.....

We have already had a mechanic look at the car and he done a head gasket on it and we had to have the glow plugs heli coiled out and new put in.....

to be honest i'm really worried and unsure where to turn to for advice as other than vx themselfs not many people want to help or know what to do when it comes to this car....we bought this car cause my hubby can no longer get in and out of norm cars as he has badly damaged his back...

Please if theres anyone that can offer me some advice...other than scrapping it i would really appreciate it....thanx so much.
