I've already contacted them, and got them to make a file and im keeping them updated.

I haven't put through a complaint, until obviously a decision is reached by the dealer as to wether he will help or not.

Im about to call and inform him of todays revelations, and see if he's either willing to put it in writing saying if i get it ripped apart and its the big end, he will repair it. Or try to get him to pay for the new engine (1000$) and be done with it.

See how he reacts, and then negotiate my plan of attack.

Im honestly considering court now, as if this was taken to that length im sure i would win. And a free full rebuild could be on the cards then.... =P
