Could you do me a favour and PM an Admin to authorise my membership, I'm hoping someone will have the part numbers for the front wheel bearing as there looks to be 3 different types.
The YouTube guides seem to either show the 2wd version or the recent plate Rangers, mine is a 4wd 08 plate Ranger.
I bought mine from auction cheap, it's got 116000 miles on the clock and its fitted with the workshop back, it came from Western Power Distribution.
When I bought it:
NS front light not working - dodgy bulb connector.
Air con not working - wire pulled off back of switch.
Heater stuck on cold - control rod outer had jumped out of the clamp.
Interior light not working - blown bulb.
Doors would relock after getting in car - interior light door switch had corroded so no door opening detected.
Radio didn't work - removed yards of surplus cable from Parrot hands free fixed the radio.
Front OS wheel bearing shagged - still to resolve.
Squeal from NS front wheel - brake disk cover has corroded allowing stones to become trapped between it and the disk, still to resolve.

Apart from that it's been fine, I expect faults like that when you buy at auction, just make a list and work through it, most of the faults haven't cost me anything, just a little time.
It pulls like a train and gives me about 28mpg.

Just been on the ford forum, they are working on letting you in. Software glitch of some kind is causing problems. If you want i’ll give you my log on details and you can post a question
