I am merely stating that this forum tends to take a side depending on who the parties involved are, this forum shouldn't do that.

Whether they should or shouldn't take sides, I'd personally like to know if there's a legitimate problem with a vendor. If I'm the one posting the dispute, and CC members want to attack me, then go ahead "Make my day."

There will almost always be supporters and detractors. But as an extreme (uber bad vendor) example, there was a Porsche-related vendor very well-known for ripping Porsche owners off for years and years, and finally law enforcement stepped in and closed the business down. And now that Porsche-related business has a new name and new location and is supposedly operating again. Consumers might want to know that info before they do business with crooks.

I think this site gives everyone a fair shot to air their concerns and/or grievances. However, like many here I have also seen threads deteriorate to nothing more than a place to vent about their issues and throw accusations with no redeeming value to any of us. I don't see any of that here on this thread.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help and well wishes.

It wasn't my intention to name and shame a vendor, as some have read my thread would be aware I have already had a long running dispute with another vendor on this very same vehicle for a completely unrelated issue. The one thing that I learnt from that is that naming and shaming holds no value and normally as was my case the namer normally gets their head beaten in with a stick and accused of being a liar etc.

Most of you have already worked out where the engine came from and I am now faced with the conclusion from the vendor that because it's a race motor they offer no warranty other then for their workmanship which in my opinion is the route of the cause but that's up to me to prove and that would just involve me spending more time that couldn't be recouped.

I have today sent another email to the company politely expressing my views that they have given me the run around after a complete and total line of bull was given to me on the phone yesterday.

Disappointing to spend $60,000 on an engine and have it crap itself after only 40 miles but that's my problem now, I guess it could be much worse the engine could have punched a hole in itself and be nothing more then scrap metal luckily the parts to fix it are relatively cheap.

AND FOR THE RECORD.
David Kirkham has been a pleasure to deal with and has gone above and beyond his duty as a vendor to help out with all and anything that I had questions on or required help with. If I ever ever had to buy a Cobra there would be no other company that I would call on bar the Kirkhams.
