Just for my curiosity, is the 1.8 a Duratec or was it a Zetec? So those 1.8 engines that were in the 4/4 until about 2004? Not trying to be pedantic, just that I know what I might be looking for. And while we're on the subject, until when exactly was the lighter ladder frame used specifically for the 4/4? Until when was the 4/4 standard with the 4.1 rear axle ratio?
I assume it was the time before the standardized wings. Does a say 2004 or slightly older 4/4 have hand crafted aluminum wings or do they all have sheet steel wings? Was the ladder frame already galvanized? Thanks for answers to so many questions. It's a bit of a thread drift, but rather late and I suspect most have already said something about the ownership experience.
