so you read my PM. Yesterday - 10:53pm

and you've still not said anything?

I'm not being too much of an arse to just want to know what the hell is going on with our engine or money.

woah...i am not here to rip anyone off!

you have PM

Which he sold ages ago to buy a black one :lol:

  • 2 months later...

Well over 3 months later, I am still awaiting the following, (which I paid you for in good faith Back in June)

Immobiliser Box (The engine is no good without this as it will not run)

Drive Shafts

Brakes

Engine Cover

Exhaust (Mid & Back Box)

Air Box

Steering Wheel

Some Money Back for not supplying the Wiring Loom (Which I had to buy separate from some one else)

As I have explained to you, my MOT is due at the end of the month and the car will not run without that immobiliser box. If the Polo was running before it was handed to the garaged then it MUST have had the immobiliser box, as it would not run without it.

I have a pic of what the Immobiliser box looks like, in case it is getting mixed up with something else.

I would appreciate it if we can sort this out once and for all now, as I cannot have my car sat on the road without an MOT.

it should be located directly above the fusebox, under the headlight switch, and isnt easy to see (need to put head by footwell/base of seat and look up, with the lower dash cover removed), held in by two screws.

oh dear...........

oh dear...........

oh dear.... what?

this sounds like a dire transaction?

STILL waiting for a reply ....

Forget about the immobilisor box.

Can you at least sort out getting the rest of the bits up to me?

I've tried texting you a couple of times now but had no response recently.

tomo, get in contact with holly and rae and sort this out.

its a sad state of affairs if things cant be completed smoothly as it seems they did everything they could on thier part and you seem to have taken the mickey.

agreed, this appears to have gone very sour, there are obviously things we are not privvy to but if money has changed hands and parts not produced then theres q's to be answered!

cheer guys

still waiting for all those bits.

the backbox is £530 at VW alone [no one else makes them...] , and we didnt want to have to fork out £300 for a stainless one making...

Get your arse into that garage, and get all these bits off the car. i'm really annoyed now, this has gone too far.

right well the buyer has decided he doesnt want this anymore - the engine and everything is still in the car but it will be available as of the 1st week of july for collection from A.P.D Performance which is just outside Poole, Dorset

Everything needed for a conversion

Engine

Gearbox (runs very very smooth)

ECU

Loom

Key

Clocks

Whole front end basically including brakes, driveshafts the lot

I was told this is worth £800-£1k by my friend who owns the garage but I agreed a price of £750 with the other buyer who is a close mate which is a steal so no lower!

If anyone is serious you can come and hear the engine run in the polo

Tom

No where on the ad does it say that the buyer would have to wait over 3 months for the bits, it says avaliable form the 1st July. This is ridiculous.

I need the rest of the bits we paid for over 4 months ago now.

I said yestarday via text to you that i am prepared to drive the 5 1/2 hour journey this weekend if i have to, to collect the items. But it would be saturday night when we got there, and i would want to meet YOU, not the guys at the garage where the bits are.

I'm so annoyed about all this, you shouldnt have advertised this all for sale untill your car was finished and you had all these bits ready to go. Instead I feel you've just taken our money and left us in the lurch.

Please arrange for the rest of the bits to be shipped to me or send me half the money back, So we can go buy the bits we need that you haven't sent.

or send me half the money back, So we can go buy the bits we need that you haven't sent.

you what? the bits would cost more than that....

and if the wiring loom doesnt get sent to us, we want the money for that for sure.

small claims?

Maybe something is finally happening with this, Tom text me yestarday asking for my full name & address.

Watch this space..

nothing...

right, tom, do i have to report you to the police tomorrow when i go to report pologti1 ??? and then that means i'll be filing a small claims court case against you

or are you going to finish off the deal??

little pisstaking fucker

just to keep you all updated.

I text Tom a couple of times and he didnt reply.

I then text him again this morning asking him to let me know what was going on, as Rae is ready to go to the police, but i dont't want it to get that far jsut sort it out.

I got a reply within 5 minutes.

''i dont even have my car back yet.you know as much as me, i am not a mechanic. once my car is done & all the parts are off & ready they are yours. by all means go to thepolice, it will not help. i have never once said you wont get your stuff. i even offered your money back. maybe phone the garage & let them know this?''

So basically i replyed telling him 'i bought the stuff off YOU not the garage, you sort it out'

Plus he hasnt offered my my money back, money back is no good to me anyway, we want the parts we bought back in June!!

pay me a visit. bring the boys. bring the police.

i have never once said you arent getting the last couple of parts or anything like that, i have also stayed in contact when i can. i run a business and do not have time to text people all day.

the car is very close to being finished at last, it has had set backs due to matters i wont discuss and that were way out of my control. the garage will not give me all the parts you need untill they have finished.

i also did offer to give you your money back before the engine, box and ecu were sent up to you. you said it would be easier to carry on.

a lot of members on here know me personally and will agree that i am not on here to scam anyone, i have no need to and also i like the scene and the people so getting myself a bad reputation will do me no favours.
