Have you spoken to the dept of fair trading?

The car developed a bad misfire which I initially thought may have been due to fuel injectors.
Took it to Ford who said it was a ignition coil so I replace a coil. Made no difference so I took it to an independent garage who diagnosed it as piston/ring damage. The mechanic said the was spark plug was covered in oil. I could also hear the engine was a lot noisier than previously. Took it back to Ford who diagnosed the same.
I have contacted some engine re-builders to possibly have it reconditioned and they wont touch it due to the unavailability of parts??
I have spoken to Fair Trading and the ACCC and they believe I have a legitimate case under ACL Consumer Guarantees.
