So - they tried to put everything back together and it seems the tranny coolent lines are all rusted and coroded. So... Another $400 (inclusive of labour). I argued that if they hadn't taken the vehicle apart because of the damn fuel injector issue then these lines wouldn't have been taken apart and as such require replaced. Nope... Won't have anything to do with it. So, new tranny coolant lines. I don't care at this point, but I sure do want my vehicle back - oh, 10 days for parts. Add in a long weekend (holiday) and it appears I won't have my car until September 10th.

Plus side I've saved $300 in gas
$360 in camping costs from the trip we cancelled
Probably another $200 because I've been stuck at home.

About $1,000 saved and a bill of $1,900... Oh, I probably forgot to mention I let them replace the starter motor too as it looked like it was nearing the end of it's life. Another of those "we've got your car in bits, we might as well" things.

This thing better drive like it's off the shelf new!

Sorry to hear that things are being delayed so much. That would drive me crazy being out of a vehicle for that long. Did they atleast offer you a loaner...?

What a headache. Is it just me but to pay top dollar for parts, not on hand and parts that you could reasonably need not in stock. I can see, say, not having a fuel tank on hand but no cooling lines for a stock gearbox?

Thanks
Nope - this dealer doesn't do that...

Yeah no kidding. I was a little shocked too. At least the CSR person ordered the part while we were waiting to see if Ford would warranty the work. That was they were being delivered before they got the go ahead or not, to do the work. Also looked for aftermarket parts in case it wasn't warrantied. Unfortunately there were no aftermarket parts in Calgary either, so it came to the Ford 10-day wait parts.

I've borrowed the wife's car here and there but she's had a few busy weeks of work and family events (which I've gotten to skip ) and borrowerd a parents vehicle on one or two occasions and my sisters vehicle on one occasion. Start to feel a bit useless after awhile though. And groutchy and short tempered being at home or not getting out doing the stuff you enjoy.
