It started with the dreaded knocking noise coming from the timing gear so went to ford which they had for four weeks and completely changed the timing setup, at one point they was going to put a new engine in to it as they couldn’t get it started but eventually did. They broke the left side skirt putting it on the lift. They tried to deny it but agreed to cover the repair. Not long after getting it back I start to notice oil on the ground. Whilst waiting for it to go back in, it goes from a drip to a flow coming out, they put a new timing cover plate on it hoping it will fix but no it’s still leaking and they broke the right side skirt in the process. Ain’t ford great
Keep getting service light coming on and oil change required
Don’t run the same as it did, stutters a fair bit
I’m telling them now that enough is enough and that it should have a new engine put in it now as it’s just crap
it probley the crank shaft oil seal, but to be honest the oil change light is probley because they didn't do the pre inspection delivery. also you will be waiting a long time if you going down the new engine route
just in evenhalshaws in Manchester , they have ford rangers sat their with engine faults, and all requiring new engines. and this engine was the old 200ps engine 5 pot one which they stopped making. but then it is in the new rangers
