Eric Bloodaxe Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Engine, probably yes. The 5 speed box is known to be a weak point though. And of course you're only 2-3 years from the wet belt change so need to budget for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not have to search far on the forum to find one of hundreds of threads on the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob112 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Got a quote from a ford specialist £1200 or £1400 with the oil pump I think. It rather makes the car expensive to run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a 10 or more year period from new, it would probably work out no worse than a "normal" engine requiring cam belt changes at 4 or 5 years. But in most cases, the first and/or second owners will have moved on by 7 years or so, leaving someone else to pick up the big bill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rather makes the car expensive to run Looks like you got a couple of good quotes. Ford Main Dealers are now charging at least £1450, but many are now charging £1700. A replacement engine from PumaSpeed is around £3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob Engine, yes no problem. I am over 75,000 miles and running Pumaspeed stage 3 map and mods. My car was re mapped at 2000 miles as I wanted more so I then went to the Pumaspeed map and love it just I now want more again. Gearbox will not last long if you like hammering the car in 1st and 2nd gear though. If you can afford it a 6 speed conversion will fix that but thats quite a bit of cash by the time you have paid for parts and labour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
