With the eco boost ensure it’s one that doesn’t have the wet belt issue

Avoid the EcoBoom like the plague! Lovely looking mirrors but as AW mentions about the wet belt, they have a tendency to shear and absolutely destroy the engine and not very high mileage.

Yeah, aware of the issues. Fortunately, it’s a job that I can do if necessary.

On checking, 2021 models use a chain rather than the wet belt.

Lot better bet then with those. 2 members of my wife’s family had the wet belt and both had engines go just after 50k miles and they both had full ford service history at the correct intervals.

They still use a wet belt on the oil pump but that’s a relatively easy job every 30k or so. But, yeah the wet belt timing was a great idea executed with complete incompetence.

Weatherman on News just now:
"Great news! We have no weather warnings for the first time in weeks!"
It'll still be cold and wet but much better cold and wet
Three weeks until Canaries 20+°

When I was young it was find a car that I could afford, my parents could not afford to give me any towards it. A lot of overtime and it cost all of the extra I had earned.
My regret later on was that I wished I had spent that money on lessons as it was several years later that I actually passed a driving test.

Today’s been a great day, full of emotions but one that I can only describe as being immensely proud of Mrs M and her courage.
2 years ago we began IVF due to her not being able to conceive naturally, we had success but unfortunately a few weeks in we lost my dad to cancer and then 3 days later unfortunately suffered a miscarriage! So had possibly the worst week I can ever imagine having.
It’s been a long road and Mrs M has been through a lot, physically, mentally and emotionally. But today we visited the IVF clinic in London, had scans, tests and meetings with the Dr’s and she has decided now the time is right that shes ready to go for it again. So money paid out, appointments are booked and away we go.
For all she has been through, put up with and what an amazing step mum she’s been to my brood for the past 10years, I have everything crossed for her because she will be an amazing mum
