Lol They do handle well mate but like you say its the lack of power that lets em down and if you chip em etc the transfer box lasts about as long as a tank of fuel lol

lol. an absolute waste of time! like the vaux calibra 4x4. the transfer bos shat itself if you fitted 2 part worns on instead of 4 new tyres every 4000 miles.

The RS2000 4x4 was very much under developed by Ford as they totally lost interest in it themselves

It had a very much delayed launch, and almost did'nt make it into production due to slower then expected sales of the 2wd version, of which I think over 20,000 where eventually sold.

What the 4x4 needs is the 2.3 conversion, the extra torque totally transforms the car and makes it a much better performer all round.

And as mentioned, the transfer box is the weakest link
