    The seat belt clip in the passenger seat pushes down. Put a bit of pressure on it.

    My 2015 limited gets 28 fully loaded. Never really varies. Just ordered a brand new one. Can’t wait.

    Your mpg should increase the more miles the engine does, I’m getting about 36mpg. As for the lights I tend to put my front fog lights on in the dark and it makes a big difference to lighting the road up

      Yes my mpg is slowly getting better I will try the fog lights idea anyway thanks for watching

    These are fantastic vans and these points are very minor and of course running air con will affect fuel consumption. The worst problems with these though are very poor standard dipped beam headlights, upgrade kit to Xenons for dipped fixes. Main beam is pretty good though. The other big moan for me is the drivers seat has virtually no sideways support for legs and upper body.

      The headlights are shocking I totally agree. As you say main beam seems ok which is odd

    I have a 70 reg 170 ltd auto with 17k miles on it. I’m getting 34-35mpg. (I don’t drive slow) Yours should improve👍

    • @quickfirefred34
      @quickfirefred34 Рік тому +1

      Thanks for that. Yes, it is getting better. I was told by Ford that as the engine runs in, it should get better

  • @barryrathbone
    @barryrathbone 9 місяців тому

    Sadly the headlights are only halogen and are pitiful! I’m getting around 33 from mine but that is the auto and now with 30k on it

    Ford appear to be asking £48K plus vat for a new one.
    More than Double what i paid in 2019.

    • @quickfirefred34
      @quickfirefred34 Рік тому

      I paid about 35k for this van. If I got this van right now its 43k they have all gone up. We got my other half a crew cab few months ago 49k. Thanks for watching

    Wet belt failure after 56k miles on a 2019 destroyed the engine with full Ford service history. No recall on this. Beware

      I managed to get 130k out of mine before handing it back to the lease company after 3 years.
      I'd push it to 20k services with diluted oil too 😂

      The trip computer is only Suggesting gear changes for optimal fuel efficiency. Not for any other reason. Thanks for watching.
