Ford Transit tourneo 1998

5 star review

I bought my Tourneo in Feb ‘99 it had 60’ish thousand on the clock. I used it from day 1 as a taxi / minibus service and still using it today. Nearly 700000 on clock and its third engine (first got to 450000) and I can not tell you how happy I am with HER! Far as I can remember the only time she didn’t start was with a flat battery and the only time she stopped is when the engine had just about lost its compression. Engine £50 - £450 gearbox £10 - £150 clutch kit £60 - £100 how can anything on the market compete with it? This year was going to be its retirement year but a bit of welding and its good to go for another year! FORD please when you have a diamond at your fingertips don’t let it go! Start making new shells and you will sell more shells than new vans and I will be your first customer! (Painted would be nice.)  Just to finish, I drove a car for 2 weeks then got back into my Tourneo, I had the biggest smile on my face all day and that’s what driving is all about. Thanks for reading.

Ford Transit R - reg 1998

1 star review

Hi, could you help me resolve a problem with my Transit Luton please? I bought it in Colchester for £1250 reduced from £2500. It has a reconditioned engine so - one reason why I bought it was the engine looked newer than its R reg plate, well it is by a couple of years but I believe the fuel pump may still be the old one (the wheel arches are rusty and the back step has rusted). Could the fuel pump be blocked, rusted or rusted to unrepairable - I have tried diesel injector cleaner on the four injectors by removing the injectors individually. When I first got it it was only running on 3 of 4 spark plugs with diesel so it conked out going up a hill. (The breaks disks had to be changed as they were causing no break then another day sticky breaks and steaming wheels - (fire hazard)). Thanks.
