Problematic FIAT Multipla

I bought a 54 plate Fiat Multipla Mk 2 from a dealer in May. It has FSH yet it keeps going wrong.

The dealer replaced a front strut then (very reluctantly) replaced the EGR valve after it broke down.

Now the clutch is slipping and smoking. It had a "reconditioned clutch" and a new flywheel 2 years (6000 miles) ago.

Should I:

Either call it a day & px it for something more reliable,
Or try to get the dealer to fix it under Sale of Goods/Services,
Or go back to Fiat for a replacement clutch as they supplied the faulty one?

Any help really gratefully received as I'm stuffed financially and need this sorted ASAP.

Try to get the dealer to fix it or take it back and refund your money under his legal obligations: www.honestjohn.co.uk/faq/consumer-rights/ But about a clutch he could argue that you destroyed it by the way you drove the car.
