Do me the honour and spell my name right:p
I suggest you spend a bit more time learning about the workings of these dasterdly machines and understand what is offered and the way the car was accepted before you come on here all high and mighty.
For my part I have actualy got off my butt and tried to help this guy out not sat at my keyboard and blustered at how terrable this or that tuner is.
Like I said, you need a bit of impartiality instead of grinding your axe all the time.

Like I said you guys are on a witchhunt without any relivent facts apart from the buyers version.
I have had disputes with vendors on this site and have always managed to sort it out without hanging my dirty washing out or to that fact spent my time sniping at them.
Allways the same names on these threads.

LOL. i don\'t think it\'s just me do you, but i am trying, which is why i said it would be nice to know what is wrong with Hairy\'s engine
Quotebefore you come on here all high and mighty.
I\'ll come on here how i like, i pay to! but i make comments to help support Hairy, who seems to have been ripped off as i see it,
QuoteFor my part I have actualy got off my butt and tried to help this guy out not sat at my keyboard
I am glad you agree the guy needs help with this, he has had a raw deal hasn\'t he?
Quoteyou need a bit of impartiality instead of grinding your axe all the time.
What i need,  is to know that if a guy buys a car from a reputable rotary specialist (whose name is used to advertize the car) There would be some support and backup from the seller to ensure the new owner is a satisfied customer with a reliable car, without all the hassle Hairy has had.

Quote from: John YorkeI go back to \'sold as seen\' You all seem to miss the point this car was running and had been test driven by a number of potential buyers. I dont claim to have any knowledge of law, all I understand are facts and the fact is this car was running fine upto and including the sale, what happened after that is anyones guess, I do not blame Darren for the engine going pop [if it has] it could be any one of the ancillaries giving up after 12-15 years of abuse, I dont see any other tuner / builder  rebuilding for free if a fuel pump gives up or a coil breaks down,injector blocked- the car was cheap by anyones standard and was reflected in the bill of sale - sold as seen.
I am soooo glad I dont have a rotary business:3Confused

.

Sold as seen is not legally acceptable from a motor trader, neither is no warranty given or implied. The car must be fit for purpose. I\'m not saying that this car was or wasn\'t just making an observation.

As for the so glad you don\'t have a rotary business, make that any car business, you would have the same problems whether it revolved or went up and down.

I don\'t wanna jump any bandwagon here, as I know **** all about the whole situation at the end of the day but I think oldones suggestion is a good and generous one,

Well done for putting up to help that man. Mucho respect.

Sorry mate but im sure it is clear on this thread that this is his last resort as there is nobody trying to sort this out from any other party and like most of us its very hard for him to go all out legal without this support at least.

all that will happen if this "dirty laundry"/"witch hunt" as you see it or justice as we see it stops is that he will be scared by the rotary for life most likely even if he gets it rebuilt at his cost and will end up hating the rotary cause and in turn our car prices take another beating.

there are some of opinions and resentment on here which is understanable but mostly what i can see is someone persuing justice.

Have to say looking at this thread that perhaps sometime it might not be anyones fault at all.

Now before anyone jumps on me hear me out:

I sold my Purple RX7 at the end of last year. in my ownership she ran perfectly made great power and never let me down, after 3yrs i sold her for a change. Lets say i took people out for test drives and it was fine, then the new owner came and bought it and for unknown reasons the car didn\'t make it back to his home (which was miles away), is that really my fault because as far as i was concerned it was a perfect car ???

My point is if the new owner then wanted me to pay for the rebuild it aint gonna happen as it wasn\'t my fault :Hammer  

Now ReWorx recently have had a bad name from a few dealings and workmanship they have done, but perhaps this was just one of those cases where the car gave up and no one was to blame ???

PS - my Purple RX7 got home fine without fault just making a point like :D

I believe Oldones wise words are possibly the right course of action, however Era if you pull the engine before the legal stuff happens it could make the case void as engine has been tampered with and parts might have been disguised (eyes of the law thinking here).

Deffo a tricky story this one ???

the ebay advert used re-worx name to sell the car..by stating recent rebuild rotary specialist re-worx and infering that car would out last lower mileage examples because of this care and attention
then as hairy has posted the quote from chris
"WE DROVE IT LIKE WE STOLE IT"this has been a example of some very strange dealings
why were re worx involved if they were recieving no monetary gain
why would the dealer be involved once again for no monetary gain
who was orig seller or is he keeping quiet
hairy has been treated badly and no one can reasonably expect a car to not even last the journey home
this is not a witch hunt but several people me included have been on the recieving end of what we feel is shoddy workmanship and people new to the scene need to be made aware of the choices they have with who they use and as adults it is then up to them to decide who they use
after my 2nd rebuild and ridicoulous compression figures i have used carl hayward for my car and have to say his service and attitude has been fantastic even to the point i picked my car up wednesday after its rebuild and friday night at work i rcvd a call from carl just asking if everything was ok and to keep in touch and if anything no matter how small comes up contact him and he would sort it out
now thats service and the attention to detail and neatness of work has been fantastic
people will allways have their favourite tuner but the idea of a forum is to share experiences good or bad and help others to make an informed decision

RESPECT!!! CARL:god

is it wrong for me to think as soon as i brought my fd im expecting it to pop so i can go single!

Papercup

when i test drove it i was told it had been rebuilt 10k miles ago; did the ebay advert suggest otherwise?
 
I\'m with John Yorke on this, as i touched on at the last bit of my big post. It was sold with the seller\'s name on the receipt, not Re:Worx. They received no money. Its nothing to do with them.
 
It doesn\'t matter what the ebay advert said, it wasn\'t sold through ebay.
 
Sure, it was driven hard when they had it. I sure as **** ragged it through the gears a few times (as i did with another Rex i test drove two weeks back fro Paradox) because thats what it would get when its owned by someone. A test drive when you pootle about is no use whatsoever.
