Engine delivery problems

[Pearce69]

I brought an engine the other week and it got deliverd thursday morning, when i took a proper look at the engine there was no way this engine had done 10k, it was more like 210k. I took the rocker cover off to find creamy oil, head gasket gone, piston rings on cylinders 2&3 fucked and also sand in the oil! As you could probably tell i was pissed off! So yestaday i gave him a call. I explained the sistuation and he told me to ring him back in 20mins so i did. He then tells me that i have been sent the wrong engine and that the engine i have is ready for scrap. My proper engine is now being deliverd on tuesday and fingers crossed i get it in on wed.

You should of sent him a post dated cheque for 10 pence, then when he phoned you up, tell him to ring you back in 20 mins, then when he does tell him youve sent him the wrong cheque and that a £10 our price record voucher will be with him next saterday.

I would just take it for that price.

Just tell the original seller you needed the problem sorted ASAP and due to his mistake of sending the wrong engine you require a refund.

I think it is very incompetent to send the 'wrong engine'. Considering the cost of delivery surely they would double check.
