Are you saying the 2.2 is the unreliable version,I know someone who’s just got 1.
Yes. The 2.2 in the Transit and Ranger and the 3.2 in the Ranger have an oil pump issue.
The problem, essentially, is the oil pump having an incredibly stupid design that can see it fail, usually taking the engine with it.
The Transits were recalled to fix the problem but the Rangers weren't - despite there being a Facebook page set up by disgruntled owners facing huge bills for new engines that Ford won't cover.
An aftermarket, modified oil pump of much better design is now available. It also affects the Land Rover Defender, which uses the same engine.
