Friend of mine has a Benimar on a Ford platform, 2020, 12,000 miles.
He noticed lumpy tickover and loss of power at speed.
We assumed the notorious injectors and they were replaced (£2k), made absolutely no difference. Garage dug deeper and found very low compression on number one cylinder. It has been decided that an exchange engine at £8000 is best plan
. If it were mine I would strip it and investigate but time is not on his side.
Seems Ford have forgotten how to make decent engines, I was reading about the horrendous failure rate of their Ecoboost range as well!
