ripped off!!!!!!!!!!
 

hi all:thumb:
brought my first classic scooby wrx last week and 150miles later the bottom end started knocking(70miles of them woz the drive home)
if that wasnt bad enuff i put a wanted thread on here and received loads of genuine replys(thanks guys)
i received a reply from TOMTIT88 who had a rebuilt engine for sale,so i travelled 397miles round trip to fetch it,7 hours later im home with my new engine:)
the next day i took it to the garage along with my scoobs and left it to be fitted,the following day receive a phone call from the garage and guess what???
melted piston and really bad camshaft seal leak......
i contacted TOMTIT88 and he replyed "no refund sorry to say":mad:
£1000 down and he said that!!!

TOMTIT88 IS ONE BIG TIT!!!!!

as u can imagine im gutted and now have no more funds for scooby:cry:

sorry to hear that mate,did tomtitt sell it to you as fully working etc?

I personally would would drive back to his house during the night and set light to the fcuker while he sleeps;) where about's is he based??

What a complete ****

thanks mate,yep fully working with the rebuild receipt,he said it ran fine,what is up with people now days?????

sorry to hear this. There are some shiisters out there :mad:

Trust me if that was me i would be on my way back to his house with the engine and would not leave untill i got my money back and my time and petrol money on top.

Ha, I agree.

hes based in port talbot south wales.i cant afford to go back down now...

i agree,revenge would be the way forward,money or no money back!

What a complete ****

Im with LJF , your being to soft my friend, i would show him what AIKEDO really is, i could not and would not leave it there mate.

same as above mate get back to his house and camp on his door step if necessary, so many people out there at the min who will take people for a ride. hope you get it sorted mate

it may be a treck but try cp autos .co.uk in bristol for a rebuild, they ll even pick up car 4 u,

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.

Wot an absolute conehead! no need for that at all mate, hope it gets sorted.

Set his car on fire. Job done

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:

be very careful on a public forum posting stuff like that:nono: to the op i would post in welsh scoobs section:(

i was working in PT LAST week with 4 other BIG fellas, COULD OF GONE AROUD FOR YOU AS WELL !!!

as other's had said i would be down there except instead of setting fire to his house i would make him eat the ****ing engine

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.

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

have to agree get him in court and you'll end up with your money back and comp so more towards the car mate.

:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

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:

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
