I can appreciate that cornish (or his employer) have zero control over ordering a replacement engine, but it's quite obvious from reading this tale of woe they have failed to take ownership of the situation & communicate what there expectations are & have a contingency plan for when it looks to be going wrong.

I've spat the dummy out on more than one occasion in a service reception....you either get what you want, when you want it or use another dealership/Independent garage/ DIY.... £90 in transporter costs instead of being sat on your useless ass blaming someone else.

You have got to much spare time on your hands old son

Regarding the 3 weeks to replace a wheel bearing i was told bring it in this time next week which i did assuming (something you do a lot of ) the repair would be done but no it was for there "super tech" to road test the vehicle and define the fault it was then booked in the following week for the repair by which time it had fu-ked the hub which took them a week to get over to you mk7

I'm struggling to see the logic in allowing the van to go back to the same shambles that have previously let you down....I'd of paid the transporter fees to somewhere else & just took the cost on the chin.

I don't mind telling you, I'm a top bloke, I've devised a Modus Operandi that works for every given situation....when everything's working like clockwork, I take the credit for it, when everything goes pear-shaped, I blame someone else....It works every time - I think I ought to be on Lord Sugar's "The Apprentice".

You da man bra.

If someone works an afternoon shift (typically 2pm~10pm, with overtime before or after their normal hours) or works a night shift (typically 10pm~6am, with overtime before or after their normal hours) what time do you "think" they should post on a forum

It's a retorical question - I don't need a reply

That prat (Mk7 user) calls me a "tosser" because I own a Sprinter & chime into a Transit forum in a effort to discredit Ford & Ford Dealerships with my bitter & twisted views....however, I've got the strength of character to know I'm right - that's the type of knowledge & wisdom I don't mind passing onto my children & grandchildren.

Art Noon cornish....as we approach week 14, there is an "air of confidence"....don't let it drag you down buddy - we do say that every cloud has a silver lining.

Did you have a contingency plan - or did you walk round with your "thumb up ya ass" blaming someone else

Tuesday is a good day for getting the van back....I'd have a preference for avoiding the "Wednesday Woe" others suffer.

Picked it up last night.
At least it drives but they failed to cure the fuel gauge but only had it 14 weeks so probably not enough time.
Drives better than it ever did from new as will now take off forwards or backwards without having to give throttle and slip clutch.
Will even go backwards up a slope with no throttle input at all.
Never did that from new so assume faulty injector from day one and ending up cutting hole in piston and then dumping all through all orifices.
After telling us they were waiting for engine it looks like it went back and was rebuilt as it is definitely not a new.
As long as it lasts it will be good enough.
Had the pleasure of driving a new FWD panther engined transit for 5000 miles and seemed a lot more economical than mine and was returning over 30 mpg all the time where as mine averages around 25.7 0ver 26000 miles needed adblue at 2800 miles

Nice one cornish....I hope she serves you well.

The fact you are not "broken" by this experience will make you stronger.
