That was at the time when the engines were still 900 quid too, so we bought a low mileage engine and spent another 700'ish quid on the redesigned manifold and all the shit to go with it.
My 2003 Mondy did the same thing sucking the swirl flap and spindle in wrecking the head and pistion/cylinder 1 and Ford denied any knowledge of any problems when I asked about it. Anyway I currently have an other engine waiting to go in.
