Is this the same oil pump found in the 2.2 boxer ?

Can I just add...my mate bought a brand new Ford Ranger and just 10K in, he's had 3 major engine failures. After threatening legal action Ford's have just fitted a new engine under warranty, You can't believe the grief he's gone through. Not all new vehicles are great.

Rangers after 2011 are built by Ford and have at least one, potential catastrophic engine issue with the stupidest oil pump design known to man.

Rangers before 2011 are built by Mazda and don't.

As a result, the older Rangers have developed a bit of cult following and demand and values are artificially high as a result.

The stupid thing is ford acknowledge the problem in the transits and replaced them, but they refuse to acknowledge it on the rangers. Later rangers from 2016 seem a lot better but they are a few cases of failures.

I will be getting an op243 fitted on my 2015 when the warrenty finishes at the end of the year then I won’t have the worry of it potentially failing.

The modified pumps seem to be better but they're made by Ford who doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with the original version.

The ridiculously long oil change intervals don't help either.

In your position I would sell van, refinance a new one and buy a brand new electric reel for the new van.

Right so i have decided for now i am going to refinance the van for a few more years and pay it off.  Then i will probably sell it in about 5 years time.

In the meantime i will get my van system fully serviced and re wired so that its good for a few more years, as have been having a few issues lately with it that i can't seem to fix.

Thanks for input guys.
