sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 19/10/10 06:41 AM Share Posted 19/10/10 06:41 AM Ok so I bought a 2nd hand engine from a company who shall go unnamed for now, not a site sponsor on any forums that I frequent but a large wrecking yard that I found on the web. Here's a bit of the story here http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70639.Basically the engine that turned up was not the engine that I bought and I'm finding it very hard to get a refund out of them. I'm up near cairns and they are in NSW. I think a summons or letter/phone call from a lawyer would go a long way. I've been very vague with the details as I know stuff all about the law and don't want to ruin my chances. I'm thinking a call to a lawyer/solicitor to explain all the details might be in order.What I need is a a legal eagle who has an understanding of cars so I can explain it to them and they can help me sort this out. So is anyone here a lawyer? or know of a lawyer who knows a lil bit about cars.

I think I might reco the engine and sell it, just to make less of a loss.

MRO Member 36 Member For: 17y 5m 6d Posted 22/10/10 12:38 AM Share Posted 22/10/10 12:38 AM Did you pay by credit card by any chance?I always do as it give you more protection.DOFT are weak unless you have documented evidence. Grab the yellow pages and get a lawyer to write a nasty letter. Will cost you less than $500 and might be enough to let them know you are serious. Further legal action is probably a waste of time given the lack of paperwork but the letter is worth a try.
