Waiting 7 weeks for a replacement engine.

Firstly welcome.

Can you not raise a dispute via paypal? I thought you could. Next step would be trading standards, assuming it is a trader? Not sure where to go with this if not a trader. If that were me I would paying them a visit and taking some back-up.

I believe you can only raise a dispute within 45 days, and we're past that. I think i'm up to about day 86 now.

I looked on eBay to see if the seller was selling anything else, and he doesn't have any active account any longer.

Well, he seems to be a trader, it's a limited company, so maybe you're right, I could try Trading Standards.

I was going to try and diagnose the engine myself, I'm expect head gasket (although rare on the KV6), but I didn't want to invalidate the warranty, especially if it turned out to be something more serious.

It's not the first issue I had with the seller. I originally bought an engine from him, and after a month of not receiving it (it was damaged in transit) I got a refund.

Ned...

If it helps at all I have a 180 I am breaking, the KV6 engine is pretty much all there still (needs the manifold screwing back down and a cam \ crank sensor installed) 85k miles and was in perfect condition when I parked the car up

I can do you a good deal on the engine if your interested?

Personally I would be asking for my money back from the trader and looking elsewhere for a new engine
