My 2005 Ford Connect has just clocked up a reliable 105k miles. I've owned it from new and have had every service carried out by my local Ford dealership.

It had developed a rough tickover which Ford failed to diagnose during the last service. I had a bit of a look into it today and found this: -







Don't think it's ever been changed.

I couldn't even get the rear screws out as the nut had rusted on to the thread.

Not a happy bunny.

According to Ford's schedules, they're only 40k filter changes. So it could be 25k since it would have been changed. Those screws do rust like fury, so that's nothing to go by.

I wouldn't be convinced it wasn't changed.
