I'm not that far away from PT, what is this muppets name? I might not know him but somebody might...

Post it up in the Wales section and somebody might be able to help.

krisando 12 July 2010 09:13 PM

Leaney-g 12 July 2010 09:15 PM

Set his car on fire. Job done

71/200 12 July 2010 09:18 PM

mate dont take it lying down, he sold you something that was not fot for purpose. Nail him through small claims court.

Thats the nice way to do it, there are other ways:thumb:

cant mate its a scooby:)

Take him to court: as he appears to be a dishonest man.

With regards to the original engine failing.....Id be inclined to put this down to new owners enthusiasm. Many engines fail in days with new owners, thatd have lasted indefinitely with the original owner. Its the same with many quick turbocharged cars.

m@t STImulation 12 July 2010 09:24 PM

y do these cu*ts do this i had a smilar experience, takes the piss
go pay him a vviset with 4 of you r biggest mates

i dont agree with threats on a public forum in which the police can see and everybody else if someone does the above who there comin to get you :( the op has been ripped off let tom tit himself explain if he is brave enough to do it

Small claims court can take years before this is resolved, can not believe you have not taken the engine back to him.No need to set his car alight as he will get a insurance payout.DEMAND your money back,and if you have no joy actions will always spk louder than words.This t**t has had £1000 off you,and you've got a shagged engine :cuckoo:,sorry i ,but i would be straight down there with the knackered engine and coming back home with my money or a night in the cells charged with section 18 :brickwall. There is a recession on ,and i imagine most people have not got a £1000 to give away.
Tell him the garages findings,and suggest he either:1. refund your money or 2.take the engine back and get the work done. Sorry but cant see any other option.:wonder:

spacer567 12 July 2010 09:48 PM

dont take this shoit lying down clowns like him give people like us a bad name if you let him of he will do it to other people personally i would take some mates round to his house for aparty
