Ripped Off - What to Do?
Discussion
Write him a letter.
When he receives it, this will of course imply that you know where he lives. Explain the situation, and that waiting 3 months is completely unreasonable. You still want the engine but you have lost confidence in him being able to supply it.
Ask for your money back within seven days, and specify exactly how you want it back, cheque, bank transfer or whatever. If he still wants to supply the engine after this time you would be happy to do this and pay for it again when it is physically in his possession so that you can come and collect it and pay cash.
If he does not find either of these options reasonable tell him without further notice you will escalate the situation to Trading Standards and start with a court claim to recover your money.
Then wait and see!

Very good advice...When he receives it, this will of course imply that you know where he lives. Explain the situation, and that waiting 3 months is completely unreasonable. You still want the engine but you have lost confidence in him being able to supply it.
