Ford Ranger

[RUDDY]

all the rangers we get in week in week out dont have any serious problems! done a few brake pipes on 52/53 plate ones for mot but thats about it! oh one thing they are to be serviced every 6000 miles and must have diff oil done!

cheers son, guys at Ford dealer told me about the diff oil, says fronts usually really clean but the back is always horrible ...means nowt to me
but is something to check in the history, looking at one thats ex BT and apparently has a full service history .

Wife sez its if I buy a Ranger the bike or TR7 has to go ...,






anybody want a bike

[fast eddie]

my mate just brought a nissan navara king cab thing, fully loaded, sat nav, aircon, leather ect, had 3 dealers competing and ended up paying £13k for a spanking new truck!
shop around, deals are out there!

[Tongy]

Bought and sold many of these and no real worries ,had a couple with pre heat plugs snaping off and damaging comb chamber and rear suspension leaf springs have changed a few but only due to overloading ,in all prefare mitsubishi L200.

[Andyc]

Has anyone got/had one , around a 53 plate 2.5td , thinking of buying one but a few people have said they have problems, obviously all the commercial dealers I am speaking to say they don't. Just wondered if there were any horrors to reveal and what the running costs were like.

cheers, Paul

use one for work they are ok but very light on the back end

[grum]

Paul, stating the obvious, i guess the better one to get would be a privately owned one instead of an ex BT, Waterboard, Gas etc - if peeps dont own them themselves, they normally get a bit more grief

[Chesney]

cannot believe no one else rates the isuzu, i've driven the lot and only one i like other than it is the ranger, give one a test drive, you'll be surprised.

the thing with lease companys like bt etc is that there is no expense spared when comes to maintenence open cheque book in my experience

[paul spence]

sum cheap L200s at the sales yesterday.
got one if you want one cheap son,you could view it on your visit to N.E.K.

[Mr Hoarder]

I look after a 52 plate Ranger Turbo Diesel, the only problem I've ever had with it was a sticking front caliper - the rest of it is fine, just the usual servicing and brake pads now and then.

Tows a dirty great big trailer full of scrap ok too - so if you are towing the TR it will be fine

Filler weighs quite a bit Rob ...

Nissan version?? You mean the nevaro? There not based on the ranger,, the mazda bt is..

I had one as a company demo, and the good work horses,, if you can stretch your budget i'd go for the newer shape 07 onwards,, much nicer vehicle

meet the wife

[dale]

ranger a good choice L200 and nevara troublesome

[RS1800]

toyoty the one Paul I get around 400 to 420 on a tank about £58 in the current climate. Also hold better resale value.If you want cheap vehicle L200 at the moment are cheap as chips and the sports also. I think they sold too many so plenty around.
