Do you drive a citroen saxo and hang about on retail parks at night with a sunbed glued to the underside and a squillion watt stereo in the boot of it?

nope, i just think a bit of scoopy thing would look a damn sight more purposeful than a bloody bulge
and my 90 dont go on the road never mind retail parks it dont even have all the lights it started with and sterio? i do have a 3" exhaust
(thats its total length btw :shock: )

I assume from that you mean that it would be remarkably jolly in a hap hazard fashion, sort of up beat in a chirpy kind of way ?
Since English is for the most part gender-neutral as far as languages go it is rather difficult to percieve what else you could mean ...
On a serious note, can we watch the language guys ? there is another thread I'm keeping my eyes on with a variety of derogatory phrases and words which should be frowned upon "won't somebody think of the children"
As for the inclusion of the "power buldge", I can't say I'm all that fond of it, but then again as an alternative to cutting a big hole in it, or what was possibly on the plans (i.e. slamming the bonnet till it dented itself enough to fit) it's probably an improvement.
As for engines, well, Ford are under increasing pressure to meet the new emmissions requirements, and I dare say feel something of a moral obligation to shy away from the BMW entines which currently occupy the hole (even if it's simply to one with oil pumps that stay fitted) so I guess they had to do something.
The question of reliability does come up, but, how anyone can criticise ford for producing naff engines when it's going into the vehicle the 2.5TD was for is beyond me.
The vents are a valid concern if that's your sort of thing, but the aircon models have had a sealed dash, or at least it didn't have any holes in it and the vents were just glued to the top, they might keep up with that tradition for a while ...
Alternatively, it will finally give you somewhere to stick the belgium national windscreen sticker :) which, as you might not know is too long for a 90/110 and too straight for a discovery / rangie ...

Why?
When mine arrives it will get properly muddy and used. Perhaps we could meet up and see how long your chassis takes to snap in half? :lol:
The Duratorq engine is a Transit / Jag Diesel hybrid, I understand. Much more Transit than Jag, but well noise insulated i understand. With the 6th gear the motorway engine flogging should be a thing of the past too 8)
mark.yellow.series.3:
the transit duratorque engine is very good imho.
my van spends most of its life fully loaded, and after 200K miles it still drives like new, no smoke or owt
we have had four new trannys now, and with a collective (abused) miles of about 650k miles we've only killed one engine. and ford fixed it under warrenty.
