In Western Australia, some cars are more than merely a mode of mobility. They are workhorses, that ride we can keep calling upon every day – the tools of our trade, weekend adventure companions and just something to get us to the next workload. Few vehicles personify this more than the Ford Ranger. It’s a badge of hardiness and dependability, just as game navigating a challenging Pilbara worksite as it is when backing a boat in at Mandurah or busting through the busy streets of Perth.
Which is why, when the 2017 Ford Ranger coated in shiny Magnetic Grey rolled on to our lawn it’s not like we saw a car at its end of its life. We saw an opportunity. WA Auto Parts is your leading used auto parts buyer, seller and wrecker here in Perth.

The heart of the beast: 3.2L Turbo Diesel Powertrain
At the heart of the PX MkII Ranger’s revered reputation is its engine. The one offered here features the desirable 3.2-litre, 5 cylinder P5AT turbo diesel engine. It’s the motor that has hauled tons of gear around the country, towed the family caravan on endless holidays and tackled some pretty tough off-road tracks. It is worshipped for its low-down torque and unshakeable reliability.
So when this Ranger came in, our first step was checking out the state of health of this vital part. A battery of tests were conducted by our seasoned 15 year veterans. The engine in this car is a great runner. We actually made sure to address common gripes that pop up on this platform, things such as the state of EGR cooler, as well stuff like whether or not the intake manifold is good even when you’re buying new there is no need to play a guessing game about what’s going in your truck.
This is a godsend for any Ranger’s owner with engine problems. The whole running engine package is available for transplant, and you can either order parts individually. Need a turbos upgrade to recover that lost boost? We have it. Faulty injectors drinking your fuel economy? We’ve got a tested set. A worn out alternator or starter motor? They’re here, checked out and good to go.
Connecting the engine to your hands is a stout 6R80 6 speed automatic. Famous for its sealed design and reliability, this gear case is another good stock piece. We’ve tested it and done so again to make sure it’s capable of returning thousands of faithful miles. The 4×4 archtitecture is no less important. We have the entire lot: Transfer Case Front Diff Tail Shafts And, shocking but true, The Most Sought after Rear Diff Assemply with Factory Electronic Loker (E Locker). This is a gold mine of real Ford parts at less that half the dealer cost, for anyone building an off road weapon or fixing one with a wiped out drivetrain.
The Command Center: Cockpit, Comfort, and Electronics
Ford made the interior leaps and bounds better in the PX MkII Ranger – taking it from a simple work ute to a soft and tech-load daily driver. This 2017 model Ranger has the cabin to prove that, and it’s full of bits that will help bring some comfort and usability back into your own Ranger too.
At the center of it all is the Ford SYNC touchscreen infotainment system. This is the hub of navigation, phone calls and music. A knock or faulty unit can be so frustrating. We have the original, tested head unit available and ready to add modern functionality back into your ute.
Dual-cab seats are often subject to a hard life. This Ranger comes with a complete set of seats that are in very good condition, no rips and smaller tears. Whether you are replacing a worn out driver’s seat or upgrading an entire interior, this is an affordable option. Also available is full dashboard assembly, suitable for cars with damaged interiors and not just an instrument pod or cover. And then there’s your instrument cluster, fully functioning with no dead pixels so that all of your critical vehicle data is easy to read.
These days, vehicles are a maze of intricate electronic modules. To the Body Control Module (BCM) which controls your lights to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that runs your engine, the failure of any one of these can not only be difficult to trace, but it can cost a lot to fix. A brand new one from a dealer will cost easily a few thousand, and now here is one just pulls out of another unit or vehicle for half the price. Whether themodule on your ute is playing up or has ceased to work, WA Auto Parts can help you out.
The Working Outside: Panels and Accs
Beautiful in the ever popular Magnetic Grey and you wont be waiting too long for this one as most of the exterior parts on this Ranger are in high demand. A workplace accident or a skirmish in a cramped car park is all it takes to scratch a panel. Another reason to buy a genuine, factory-painted door or guard from us is that it will be a perfect fit and match in colour right out of the box – saving you hundreds if not thousands over getting panels beaten & resprayed.
Tub/Well-Back: Often one of the first parts of the vehicle to show its wear and tear. From this Ranger’s factory tailgate with its convenient lift-assist mechanism to the original taillights, the whole well-back looks fantastic. It’s an easy bolt-in replacement for a tube that’s been crushed or otherwise driven past its limits.
Doors & Panels: We have a variety of straight neat doors guards and even a bonnet, depending on what side you need!
Add-ons: This Ranger was fitted with the stuff every owner craves. We have the Ford side steps, for an easier way to get in and out. Presto, now you have the heavy duty tow bar assembly completed ad ready to go into action! The other is the on-trend sports bar that can be popped in to make your ute look sweet. These are not an aftermarket part like many others on the market.
Wheels & Tyres: It’s amazing what a set of wheels can do to change the whole feel of ute! IVECO DAILY 50C 2017 set of four genuine Ford alloy wheels with useable tyres. Perfect to upgrade from steel wheels or to replace a damaged alloy.
