your description of how this will do 70000 and shit itself had me rolling I laughed so hard I had stomache cramp

[@richardm1183]

Really enjoy these videos, its like the mate you always want to share a pint or three with talking motors and sense. As the owner of a 2.2 transit thou, this scares the what not out of me. But its serving my son well, and he his cutting his teeth doing maintenance on the van, inspired by you.

Great video! These are by far the worst vans in circulation atm we’ve got a fleet at work and they spend more time in ford dealers than actually on the road, bring back the smiley 😊. Top work pal.

[@robertbytheway2610]

These people that ere saying you should change all the pistons when clearly their is no need probably work for a garage who like to screw people over and they definitely not proper mechanics they are just FITTERS. Keep up the good work Al

[@davidlipski863]

Salvage Rebuilds has had 2 Ford engines rebuilt by a firm in Essex they specialise in rebuilding these engines think they are kept very busy. Al is an old school mechanic only replace if it's knackered, very few mechanics left now just technician's plug in and throw parts at it. Poole Diesels in the 80/90s were very good when i lived near Poole he used to have lots of Taxi and fleet customers.

Because they don't tend to reach high mileage!

My 2.2 has just done the same 165k of hard work so I can’t complain to much , I’m thinking mine will be a new engine job as I carried on driving to get off the motorway

[@bfdmanbfd]

Ive been watching this ford transit rebuild Ive got a quick question for you if you can answer it Ive got a citroen relay 2.2 which has the 2.2 transit engine My temperature gauge has stopped working and i have a feeling its the temperature sensor Any change you can tell me the location of the temperature sensor Because im getting mixed information from the net and youtube So say top of the head where the injectors are some say the side of the head and some say the thermostat houseing I can see a senor of some sort on the thermostat housing but im not to if this is the correct one just wondering you you might be able to tell me Thanks

[@rekord1969]

I had a Land Rover with the 2.4 transit engine and was told by a mechanic to never let it labour and keep it about 1700rpm or so just always go down a gear when needed to prevent the engine doing this, is this true? I never had any bother with it, just seals on injectors….. in fairness I got rid before 80k.

Best Tranny engine was a mk3 2.5DI which could do half a million miles easy with ford level servicing The banana could do pumps so it’s not the best but for total reliability engine wise take a bow 86-91 2.5Di take a bow

[@Jpandhisonemanposse]

Your seem way happier when working on merc/sprinter engines.

[@jasoneldridge4738]

So would you, if you spent all that time rebuilding something that will probably go bang in a very short time !

[@bettyourcampervan]

I have just had a recon engine fitted in Betty after 200k! 2.4 mk7

[@mrfishbulb7187]

The earlier 2.4's were a bit more reliable than these later nightmares, but any Transit engine built after the 2.5di was the automotive equivalent of 'Trigger's Broom'. 😂

How much would you charge to rebuild mine it’s got a crack at the bottom of it apparently

[@davidstickland3420]

FORD or as we knew them in my last job 'Fix Or Repair Daily' - We had a fair few issues with our Transits. In my current company we have Vauxhall Vivaros (Peugeot Partners in disguise) and to be honest even with the problems with the Transit in my last job this van in my opinion is worse. A notchy gearbox, terrible turning circle and power steering that seems to have forgotten the word power in the title (However this could just be my van). The van is too bloody small as well compared to the previous model Vivaro which I also drove and my previous Transit. Still musn't grumble.

[@Roadlesstraveled1244]

Has a man got a om601 td engine up in his loft of engines ? For sale 😊

[@bewildered5444]

Al, two questions. 1.How does the faulty injector cause damage to the piston. 2.Why can't Ford use more reliable injectors!

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

They tend to drop the ohm’s on the electric valves ( injector) causing it to over fuel when decelerating. Washing the cylinders out . This set tested fine on pattern and leak off . Ohm’s return should be 200 we had 20,30,50, and 190 . And sadly that’s all that’s available 👍
