Help with a few faults.

Brought my disco 3 a month ago on the terms the heavy steering would be fixed and a knocking from the back. Week later picked it up to find the knocking was still there and the parking brake module needed changing. Long story short the garage I brought it from got the car recovered (on the first day of having it) and 2 weeks later I collected it to find the knocking was a bush and the steering still hadn't been fixed so it went back to the garage for another week.
Picked it up yesterday to find heavy steering was another bush apparently...although when I brought the car it had just 'been through and mot' and now my when I'm in drive and I put the parking brake on the car just moves off like it doesn't work ?

I really don't trust the garage after this, just wandering if anyone knows what the possible fault would be?

Heavy steering could be the bottom U/J seizing up, its a common fault with age.

Parts are expencive but its only worth buying genuine, so many people have bought non genuine and had loads of play at the steering wheel.
The good news is they are very easy to replace.
