Where do I stand on a warranty?

Now i can see why you have no faith in flea bay.

 

But you would be in the same position if you,had bought the engine from anywhere else.

Yeah that's what I thought, even though its just sat in a crate for two years. Their supposed to be ringing me this week so I'll see what they say

 

sat in a create ,as a built engine or 1, for you to build ?

Did you buy it from a trader or an individual? It makes a big difference.

 

Ebay will be able to find the original listing if you contact them.

I bought it from a lr main dealer through ebay, I heard back today, the parts manager has said there's no point sending it back to lr as its two years old, so to email them the part number on the box and the parts I'll need and they'll see if they can help me out, to what extent I'm not sure, I think their thinking of splitting the cost of parts but I'm just guessing

Potential criminal offence for a false description of goods...keep the pressure on them and get a deal that works for you.

Not sure what to do now, the cranks not bad but isn't perfect. Do I settle for bearings etc. rebuild it, but I'm worried then about liner problems wich these are prone to. Or do I fight them for a refund. Could do without this headache!

You've had her in bits, why?

 

I would've said go for a full refund at minimum as it appears to be unfit for purpose; namely, that wouldn't last long before going bad!....

Did you buy this as an individual or a business? It makes a huge difference. If it was a b2b sale you will not get any consumer rights as such although you can argue other matters through the courts etc.

I originally just thought it was the cam bearings, and was gonna have them fitted and do some cleaning of the block too at the same time
