Hi Mark,

Thanks for your post - i remember your line of work from the FFOC days

He wasn't able to provide me with ANY tracking details whatsoever until Thursday 27th. No carrier company, no tracking number, no phone number - just told me "it's a local company and I don't want you hassling them."

He told me that he hadn't taken the engine out of the car and he wanted 3-4 weeks delivery time, I told him I couldn't wait that long and it was agreed he'd work on a Sunday to remove the engine to make the 2 week delivery time.

The surface corrosion coupled with a pattern alternator made me suspect that perhaps the engine was higher mileage than i'd originally been told and when I checked this with him, he came back with a higher mileage than the one i'd been told at the point of sale.

I've received emails from him in the past over the weekend and late at night which makes me pretty sure he's seen my last attempts at communication with him...

As said - there are two sides to every story, but i'm just explaining mine...
