UPDATE:
So I went to NCAT 2 weeks ago against the dealer, with all my documentation, service history, reports, cracked pieces of the engine etc. My claim was for a total of $17k. The tribunal member/judge said the dealer has 2 weeks to get their own report on my engine and get it to me within 4 weeks. He was disappointed that the dealer didnt bother responding to any of my questions when I first contacted them. Although the dealer is "Pickles Auctions", the fact that I purchased the car at a fixed price and not a bid, means the dealer is liable.
Anyway, the dealers solicitor contacted me today asking for a copy of the logbook as well as the receipts for the engine and labor. So I guess we will see what happens now. They have to get the report to me by Monday 13th Feb, If no agreement is reached we go back to tribunal on the 22nd so I will keep you all posted. I said at the tribunal that if they are willing to settle on 50% ($8,500) I will accept it and move on with no hard feelings.
