Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just saw this come up on a couple fb forums relating to Gumtree & 944s. Just a heads up. No, its not my long lost brother: no relation.

POST 2Original post

Just want to clear up I am the Luke you mention here and I have no affiliation with David. I know him he lives around the corner from me, I purchased a 944 from him a year ago. He did contact me asking if I was interested in building a turbo engine for one of his friends using my pistons and his block. I told him what was required to build such an engine but I was not interested in building it personally but happy to sell him the parts. Sorry to hear of your situation I hope this all gets sorted out. Feel free to contact me if you want.

POST 3Original post

Just realised you reposted this I’ve reached out to Dave Fenollar. Hopefully clear my name from this mess.

POST 4Original post

did this ever get resolved?

POST 5Original post

Sort of. I had a chat with both parties over the situation. Dave F got an engine in parts apparently it was all there but a pile of parts not a ready to run engine. I think he was happy enough in the end to just accept what he got. The whole situation was very poorly handled on David C’s behalf. I spoke my piece to him and told him to sort his #hit out. I know David likes to embellish the truth but never took him as an outright scammer. That said I inspected everything I bought from him in person, if I was on the other side of the country or a blind man his description vs what I was looking at were worlds apart.

POST 6Original post

More importantly, did Dave refund the guy he scammed? If you know him Luke, you should get him to sort it out
