I bought a new 280 SWB from Lookers, Sheffield. I will never buy from thier commercial dept again. They don’t want to know when they’ve off loaded the van, but the warranty are helpful. It’s a rubbish van, it went in for the clutch and flywheel after 150 miles, then it went back in 10 months later for a 3rd/4th gear syncro. You can get a hand massage on the steering wheel when you turn the fan on full and the radio has to be on to drown out the gearbox noise. My previous 02 Transit had done 90k. Can I have it back?

Bought brand new Transit 01 2010 nothing but flat first battery, nothing done by dealer Sanderson Ford, Scarborough. Now may 2011, fire under steering wheel, fuse had blown no 77- 5a, I had to remove the covers, van was going to burn to a crisp. I had my two young boys in the van. AA arrived, I replaced fuse 77 with a led blown fuse, I test circuits. Took van to same Ford dealers, they refuse to do anything with my van saying that the fuse was changed with 10a from 5a although fuse was circuit test fuse. I am left with new van, no electrics. By the way I am a Ford trained electrician and marine auto electrical specialist.

Had a Fiat Ducato from new, by 40,000 miles it had been in the garage more times than I could even keep count, new e.c.u, 3 turbos, new catalyst, earthing probs, wipers sheared, headlight motors nackard, tickover problem that could not be solved, new alternator, cant even remember what else! So decided to get rid and get a new Transit and as we thought the Transit has lived up to its reputation! 23,000 miles on the clock now, only been in the garage for a service, no knocks, no rattles, still drives like brand new after 1 year. Only one problem they seem to have is the top brake light seems to go pretty quick, but nothing to moan about! Best van available, best looking, and drives like a luxury car! The trend model has too many extras to list,6 speed, cruise control, auto lights, auto wipers, heated screen, elec mirrors, e.s.p (good in snow) hill launch assist etc etc! I get 40mpg out of mine as its driven properly so cheap to run too! If you’re reading this debating wether to get one or not, I highly recommend you do.

What a bit of kit!!! Had them all before; VW’s, Mercs, LDV’s, Ford, this is by far the best. Look forward to driving it every day. Even loaded with 2 pallets of carpet tiles it pulls great, set the cruise control and off you go.
