A few full stops, and some paragraphs make a HUGE difference when trying to read what people type here.

A car at that price will legally have a 3 month warranty minimum, whether the dealer thinks it should or not.
Contact trading standards about that ( in the UK of course )

Problem might arise, in that you may have to return the car to them for repairs.

Other than that, you need to get the car to a competent mechanic, to diagnose the problem properly.

Im not familiar with an Southern based car forums, but ask on these two which are based in Northern Ireland, and you might be guided in the right direction for a local mechanic down South.

And of course the main UK Supra forum.
