Defo sounds like it is limited, taking it off will cause no harm whatsoever, just need to find the little black box first, unless it has been done mechanically like a stop put on the diesel injector pump for example.

Might not have a external limiter , Ford have started fitting limiters that can be electronically set by using the latest electronic diagnostic tool , and as I believe it wil have to be unset using the same as nobody has sorted the software , it apears as a drop down menu in a sub section , you select the required speed and click ok , it just neds reseting to unlimited .

When our vans at work were limited they did the newer Connects via the software method, the older ones they couldn't, so didn't! They just put a sticker on the back saying 'limited to 70' anyway......
