Well it's not like it's one a fortnight.

How many people are likely to own a van for 100k miles ?

I'll be on 45,000 in 2 years, maybe more, but even if I keep it till 4 years and 100k in my ownership, it's hard to complain about a chunky service bill.

It's down from 10 years to six years and I'm assuming it's not cheap, not great for a van that was heavily marketed on its cheap running costs.
By changing this Ford are pushing responsibility for their design flaws onto their customers.

£800-1200

My daughter has a B-Max with the 1 ltr wet belt engine. She's been quoted £1200 for a belt change using the updated Kevlar belts. It's a 2 day job and requires a number of special tools, so 1200 is not particularly ott

Just came across this, it's for an F150 but exactly the same design as the 4 cylinder engines.
