My local dealer had one sat on the grass outside for years, the price would come down everynow and again. Shame it's not really a ford!

Aye, the ranger is a mazda. And apart from the odd glow plug failure they're very reliable tbh.
The 12v turbo diesel goes quite well, but they like to drink the go juice :lol:

Don't get me wrong, not a bad motor at heart and quite nice to drive. But just not really my choice of vehicle.

unless your a millionaire dont touch a ranger it is cheaper to run a v8 range rover, we did have both, we could get more mpg out the range rover than we did the ranger :? :? they go well but the fuel must run straight out of the back :D

Never really found mine to be that juicy, no juicer than the Nissan Navara.

Developed by Ford as a promotional vehicle at the time of the new Transit van range launch in 2001, the World Rally Transit combines all the features of a load-carrying rally support vehicle with 130mph performance and a rally car-style interior. Based on the rear wheel Transit, the WRT features a tuned 200bhp Ford Duratorq 2.5 litre diesel engine, stiffened suspension, large front splitter and specially-made Oz racing wheels.

Rally drivers are very much at home behind the wheel as the seats, steering wheel and a lot of the instrumentation were taken from an actual Focus WRC car. A specially-designed roll cage for the WRT and full-harness safety belts for the two occupants complete the interior package.
