You cannot just return a car to the seller. There is no cooling off period on the sale of a vehicle. In your situation you can call the seller and ask for your money back, or ask the seller to repair the vehicle. If the seller refuses, your only recourse is to sue the seller in court. If you bought this car "AS IS" and there was no implied or written warranty then you will have to prove in court that the seller knew the engine was about to lock up. You must prove that the car was not serviceable on the day you bought it and the seller knew it. Get a written statement to that fact from 2 mechanics and that will strengthen your case. Otherwise you will probably loose on a car you bought "AS IS'.
The engine has seized up! Pirates have seized the port!
a seized engine will not turn over. Even using a socket and ratchet on the crank bolt, the engine is not going to move. It is frozen, or seized up.
No. If it did crank over it wouldn't be seized.
When an engine is seized up, it will not turn over. The crank cannot make a rotation. Take hold of the main pulley and try to turn it. When you cannot turn the engine over, it is seized.
Piston seized to cylinder wall Broken Crankshaft
You property can only be seized under due process of the law, which means that an order of garnishment would have to be issued by the Court. If there is an order of garnishment, then your tax return will be seized.
Nothing, it sits there unable to do anything
No it will not run at all
The tuck will run forever.
It will not turn over.
If it has seized up it will need overhauled or replaced.
I bought a Fairline Sprint earlier this year, was told before I bought, it had a seized turbo. This turned out to be a blocked oil feed hole in the oil gallery, plus the exhaust casing corrosion pinching the turbine rotor. The solution was simply strip, clean and balance. £80 from a local turbo specialist.
