Well there's a bloke in my village who'll take a Transit load of rubble and dump it in someone else's garden at 3 in the morning, I'm told he'll do this for fifty quid. That cheap enough?rich. wrote:im in the uk from Monday looking for a cheap tipper... anyone know for one??

Re: iveco
IF this engine has them then no, I'd leave well alone as you need to remove the inlet manifold to get at the plugs on Duratorque 2.4s where they're fitted and the manifold is made from a type of special cheap Ford plastic that turns brittle with age.
But it's likely that there aren't any fitted so either way, if it starts well, leave it alone. Those manifolds aren't cheap and even the Ford commercial specialists don't always get them off intact.

Re: iveco
The world isn't too short of specialist Transit breakers so unless you live near "Seat Squabs 'R' Us", one of those breakers would probably be best, especially as many of them seem to sell bits through eBay these days.

Re: iveco
almost finished the oil change but the engine capacity is nearly 7 litres... only bought 5l of 5/30 semi synthetic..... bit of a rush last week. would fully synthetic be ok?? ive never been sure about that & i always try & stick to mineral oil after watching an self destruct due to synthetic... all advice is apreciated
Re: iveco
I use fully synthetic in my 2.0 tdci focus (smaller version of the engine in your tranny) and it hasn't blown up yet.
