Your Ranger is knocking, the oil pressure light is flickering, or it simply won't turn over. Now you're facing the question every owner dreads: repair it, replace the engine, or walk away from a truck that still has plenty of life in the chassis.
Your Ford has lost compression, knocked its bottom end, or simply stopped. Now you're weighing a repair bill that might cost more than the car is worth, while a dozen websites all promise the "best price" on a replacement engine.
Your Ranger has lost its pull on the hills. Or it's pouring smoke, knocking on a cold start, or flashing a warning light and dropping into limp mode. Now you're wondering whether theĀ Ford Ranger engine 2.2 can be fixed, or whether the garage is about to tell you it needs a new one.
Your Transit Connect is sitting on the drive, or worse, on the hard shoulder. Maybe it knocks on start-up, drinks oil, or has lost its pull on every hill. Maybe a garage has told you the engine is finished. Every day off the road costs you jobs, deliveries and income.
The dash lights up halfway up a motorway slip road. The Ranger hesitates, the power drops away, and you're nursing a loaded pickup toward the nearest lay-by wondering whether this is a sensor or a four-figure engine bill. If that's where you are, this guide is for you.
Your Transit Connect starts to hesitate on a slip road. The engine light comes on, the power drops away, and now a job that should take an hour looks like it will cost you the day. If that sounds familiar, you're in good company. The Transit Connect is one of the most widely used small vans in the UK, and most of them work hard.
You glance at the dashboard and the service reminder is on. Or worse, you can't remember when the Ranger was last in. Was it 18,000 miles ago? 30,000? And does it matter? It does. A Ranger is built to work hard, but it only keeps doing so when oil, filters, fluids and the diesel emissions system get attention on time.
Your Transit Connect starts fine, pulls hard for ten minutes, then drops into limp mode on the first long hill. Or the garage has called with the words nobody wants to hear: it's the engine. Either way, you need straight answers. Is this a fault you can fix, or is it time for a replacement engine
Your Ranger drops into limp mode halfway up a hill with a trailer on the back. Or the oil light flickers after a service. Or there's a faint rattle at idle that wasn't there last month. Whatever brought you here, you need to know three things.
