No worries mate,acorn are the biggest pile of steaming shit agency in the world.not sure if your dealing with mark Rudge but he's fucking useless,he told me he'd sent my cv over to the steelworks when a job popped up basically the same as the one id done in ford for 15years and I heard nothing,not even an acknowledgement.
They then offered my mate the exact same job.....TWICE!!!
when I phoned mark and asked what was going on he asked me for the millionth time what my name was then informed me he'd just checked my cv online and there was no conent in it.stupid prick had sent a blank cv over because he hadn't opened the attached file!!!
What a cock.
You could try RSD,they were superb with me,phone and ask for Dale, proper decent lad but they maybe a bit more workshop orientated,you maybe able to bluff it though with your mechanics qualifications but I'll make some enquiries when I get back in a fortnight mate.

Fords are a total nightmare to get into,you have zero chance unless you know someone high up,I handed applications in years ago for Dai burns(remember him???) and never heard back.
When I went on the union years later I found a box full of applications thrown in a bin in the old union office,I never checked if burnsys was in it!!!

I'm good friends with a bird and her husband who work there,she's pretty high up,I get on well with both of them tbh mate.

See what I can do.
