Ford Ranger 2.5td 2005

3 star review

I bought my Ranger at 54000 miles. Comfortable on long journeys, I use 4wd low on hills, taking off to save clutch and changing immediately when reaching level ground saves clutch. I often pull 3 TON. I had a problem with a flashing glow plug light and the engine going into slow mode I took off the EGR valve, cleaned out soot and blanked off pipework near the rear of bonnet where the pipes connect with a piece of aluminium from brake fluid bottle. I’ve no problems since, however, the Ranger is only doing 15 -18 mpg since I got it, What do I need to do to improve this? That is 15-18 MPG empty, even on long journeys.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!! 6000 mile service intervals, 24 mpg, way too low geared hence very noisey cabin at m-way speeds and comedy handling as standard. This vehicle has cost the lease company thousands in repair bills! The ranger now has 117,50 miles on the clock. Over the last 4 months it has been in the garage for 3 of them. It has had a new fuel injection pump, head gasket, water pump, radiator and two sets of glow plugs. There are approx 150 rangers in the fleet for the company I work for and I’ve heard of quite a few overheating and also some with the big end bearings going after 90,000 miles ( requiring new/ reconditioned engines ). In my opinion this is the worst vehicle ive every driven!
