    That really is a question that no-one on this forum can answer.

    What did Arnold Clark say when you asked them?

    One option - Contact them and give them a date by which they must supply the vehicle (in conformance with the contract - i.e. make "time of the essence") else you'll declare the contract breached, will demand the return of the deposit and may seek recompense for out of pocket expenses.

    Look on the bright side - at least they didn't just supply the vehicle then put the problem in your hands. (i.e. you having to complain to them to get the vehicle sorted, whilst they already had all your money. This would be the usual modus operandi of Arnold Shark).

    What is the vehicle and what is the part?
