After ten months is there no contact at all from them about your Range Rover? Can you go to the premises to have a look around. What was the last communication you had, and how long ago.
What happens if you call them on the phone number?
 
I guess not then.

I had a look on Ebay this evening and it's awash with adverts for engine reconditioning, companies been on Ebay for years with hundreds of 100% feedback but when you look at the feedback it's for random stuff or doesn't come up "no relevant feedback available" is one message l received.

There's one company advertising various engines on different Ebay accounts and every one gives the company at a different location.

lt seems to be unstoppable. Among these advertisements must be the genuine engine remanufacturers but it's difficult to identify them.

This very thread has run to forty pages since it was started back in 2018 and seemingly nothing has changed.

In 2022, I lost a Jaguar to a similar scam. At the time, I didn’t report it to the authorities. Now, I’ve finally got an opportunity to take action. My V5C shows that the keeper was changed by someone dishonest. I’ve reported this issue to the police, and they seem quite proactive in handling my case. I’m not sure if there’s a chance of getting my car back, but it seems like it’s still in good condition—since it’s gained an additional 10,000 miles and has a new MOT record. I’ll keep you all updated if there are any developments. Hopefully, this might open up opportunities for others as well.
