Ok so I got it back last Monday after the local dealership (Blacklocks) had been in long talks with Ford Australia about who was responsible for the cost of repair. Turns out it was Bayford Coburg who hadn't carried out the repair properly so now their Ford Australia's problem. Anyhow they ended up replacing the sump tank, crankshaft seal (source of all issues), clutch and starter motor. We were told to expect a bit of roughness due to the new clutch and we have but it is soooooo much better then before, we can actually enjoy driving the car now. I'm glad it's all done with, crossing my fingers there won't be any more problems.
