I don't think that grinding the crank without the customers prior authorisation is acceptable as the crank is not what it should have been in the first place.

NOW the guy wnated a std or .25 crank the proof is there for all to see,NOW when hw bought it WHY wasnt it checked in the first place and then if the good were not satifactory I would have replaced refunded or paid for a grind,NOW thats what should have happend NOW over 3 months later he comes asking for a refund as the crank is bent,NOW thats taking the piss BUT I offered to try and help him out when he told me the trouble which he had,NOW didnt have to do anything BUT thats not how I work.
I had the crank ground to make sure it was perfect and it is now within the tolerence he wanted in the first place,

i can appreciate the time scale, but why should the buyer have to get the crank checked to make sure its what you said it was ?
As a dealer surely it should be your responsibility to get it checked properly by a professional so you know that what youre selling is what you say it is?
You cant just sell stuff to people for top money based on your guesswork.

I was unaware the switch was free so me the customer is in the wrong..i apologise..i assumed i had paid for it along with the other parts sent.

i really do feel for the poor bloke wo's shelled out loads of money for an engine thats gone bang, but putting all the blame on the guy who's sold him a crank tha has sat in a corner (allegedly) for 3 months before getting fitted doesn't change the fact that he's still out of his warranty by 2 months
from what i'm reading here, pete has bent over backwards for this guy to help him out and he's got no thanks for it, no wonder everyones complaining about traders if they only hear one side of the story
if petes been on the blower to the guy to sort things out then fine, but if it were me in his shoes i'd be telling the buyer that he should have not let otehr people try and influence the pf jruy on this

surely buying a used part always carries a risk.the reason people buy used parts is usually because they cannot/do not want to pay for a new one.
i think pete is right due to the timescale involved and i would have said the same.
i sold a car to a guy last year with no warranty.he called me 3 weeks later and said he had an oil pressure problem with it.i told him i sold him the car without warranty-he said no problem he would fit an oil pump himself.....6 months later i get a letter saying he has had to pay for a full engine build at £3000 and thinks i should pay it!!!
yes ok!
its one of these ugly no win situations for either side that pete is in and his side of the argument stands up very well,and if he does give a refund then he will "live and learn" and im sure it will never happen gain
but the only way these incidents cannot happen is if you fork out big money and buy new.
personally i would have had the reground crank back and fitted different bearings for what they cost....you cannot really build a 550 bhp engine on a budget though-surely? and expect it to last....
im glad i dont rely mainly on used parts as its fuckin hard work

As I have sid the issue is sorted between my seld and Jamie which was aggreed weeks ago
The problem being it was someone else who sent me the snotty letter and NOT Jamie which got my back up I now know its was not Jamie but his gob shite mate RWD will or whatever his name is,hes the one whom has caused all the bother so I will stand on helping Jamie out
For the record aftyer speking to Jamie this morning he was quite happy to accept the over long time sacle and expected not to get anything as he admitted it was his fault
however I do not shit up people backs and i will stnd on helping him as I agreed in the first place
It his fucking mouthy mate who has started the troublemfucking typical isnt it someone who knows sod all about the situation

14000+ post superhero
just my 2 pence worth but after 3 months i wouldnt have changed it.like already said how does the trader know that the crank hasnt been used in that 3 month period,or infact that the buyer himself ddidnt drop it on removing it from the original packing? 3 months on a second hand part is way to long and the buyer has forfeited any rights to a refund by not getting it checked immediatelly on receival.for someone also in the trade,youd think that was the first thing he'd do on receiving a second hand part

pete has always said he would help me out which i am greatfull for, the situation has gone to far now due to 3rd partys. the problem is now getting sorted between ourselves, i know pete doesn't have to warrent the part due to time scale, as we all know he never said he wouldn't help me, i would still use him in the future.

- If the part supplied was incorrect then I would be expecting the supplier to sort it out , but then again I don't take the piss, and fairs fair in my book, there are a lot of people out there who take advantage of a trader 
so if you bought a car off someone that was not a trader and in 3 mths it shit itself you would blame the bloke who sold it?i know this isnt the same situation but its still 2nd hand.if a car goes pop ok its rough but its a 2nd hand item and shit happens.its the same for parts.if you leave it 2mths 8mths how can that be right to go back to the supplier and say its fucked.surely your fault for not checking right away? and if building a big spec engine surely you make sure it a1 before anything else?
i dont know pete and havent dealt with him and i dont know jamie but as i i work in a shop i understand just what people think they can do and it bugs me at times at what they think is acceptable behaviour.
either way i hope its sorted for the best interest of both parties

Sounds to me like rwd cossie will has had the rough end of the stick for trying to help a mate out, This obviously wasnt sorted to begin with as the post would never of been started!!!
He has tryed to defend a mate due to problems with his engine and now is being made a scapegoat after being bollocked by pete. All j18 had to do was ask his mate not to get involved.... ie. PM PHONE EMAIL ect. Looks like a kicking from both partys to me!!

i think pete is right due to the timescale involved and i would have said the same.
i sold a car to a guy last year with no warranty.he called me 3 weeks later and said he had an oil pressure problem with it.i told him i sold him the car without warranty-he said no problem he would fit an oil pump himself.....6 months later i get a letter saying he has had to pay for a full engine build at £3000 and thinks i should pay it!!!
yes ok!
its one of these ugly no win situations for either side that pete is in and his side of the argument stands up very well,and if he does give a refund then he will "live and learn" and im sure it will never happen gain
but the only way these incidents cannot happen is if you fork out big money and buy new.
personally i would have had the reground crank back and fitted different bearings for what they cost....you cannot really build a 550 bhp engine on a budget though-surely? and expect it to last....
im glad i dont rely mainly on used parts as its fuckin hard work

Mate you are obviously not aware that being a car trader you are by law bound by a 3 month warranty...he obviously didnt know that which is lucky for you!
Look into it mate my uncle is a car trader(all his life) the law has only been around a couple of years.....its to protect customers from buying lemons!
so 10/20 year old cossies have to come with a 3 month warranty even if the receipt states they are sold as spares or repairs due to the age of the car?

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
Yes, my old man has been in the car trade all is life and any car sold, regardless of age etc, has to come with a 3 month warranty. No more sold as seen etc.
