sounds like they got the timing very wrong and the pistons are now getting fruity with the valves.

^ This. The car wil go into limp mode, but will run consistent, just not at full power.

this is what i was trying to piece together
if you went to pick it up and they said sorry its not running right we need to investigate, and you just said no you want it back, they have to give it you, but imo that then removes any comeback to them possibly? i dunno

If the chain is louder take it back, I'm sure there will be a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Some people should try working in a garage for a week or so, it's not all straight forward. Speak to them reasonably before you leap to trading standards and all that shit and you might get somewhere.
