One more problem, the screen will not auto rotate when messaging, this makes the keyboard stay small and hard to use, I have turned the auto rotate on and it works on other parts, is this fixable

The MIUI Message App doesn't rotate. If you really need landscape mode for SMS, use a 3rd party messaging app such as Zero SMS.

Download the Global ROM from address supplied by GizBeat to your PC.
Download install run the Mi PC Suite
With phone on, hold SHIFT and plug into the PC
Wait for awhile and pay attention to any dialog permissions on the phone and allow them if you see them
You should see a box pop-up on PC asking what ROM. Direct it to the ROM you downloaded earlier
If no box pops up, click in right corner of Mi PC Suite "flash" and select ROM.

So my wife has been playing with the phone most of today and it is still Chinese, I should have purchased from Ebay. I am sure Spemall have changed their listing because when I purchased it from them it said it had Google Play but now says Play App.
Thanks for your patience and advice but we have had enough, I am opening a case against them in Paypal for sending this crap to me.
