Ford Transit Dropside 2.4 TDCi 100 2004

2 star review

I have a ’04 Transit TDDi dropside with tail lift on the back. Bought the van seven months ago with 87k on the clock and was going fine for the first few days. In the cold, the engine was very hard to get started, it had a major service before I bought it and had just been MOT’d. Then the instrument dials all failed as did nearly all electrics in the cab such as radio, heater, light and windows. Then driving home in the snow the engine died and lost power steering along with the brakes. I was extremely lucky I wasn’t involved in a serious collision! Got that fixed and now more recently I have been losing all power and it will not rev at all unless I pull over, turn her off and let her sit for 15 seconds, then restart it and she revved perfectly. Everytime this happened the heater light kept flashing until I pulled over and switched it off. Once I was 59 miles from home and this happened 34 times on the way back. Apart from all that it’s handy and despite the problems I’ve had, I love it! Only other complaint is the gearbox, it revs over 3700rpm when sitting at 65/70 mph in fifth gear too! DONT BUY A TRANSIT!

Ford Transit Dropside 2004

2 star review

I bought the vehicle 3 years ago from a main dealer, since then it has had 3 starter motors, 2 turbos and 1 fuelpump. 3 weeks ago I found it hard to get in gear, the duel mass clutch needs replacing after 68000 miles at a cost of £850. I was going to get a single mass clutch fitted but in the meantime engine blew up on the way to tescos, hole in the piston. These newer transits are a peice of s**t do not buy one you will regret it! Does any one know if I can claim from Ford?

Ford Transit Dropside 2.0 cdx 2004

3 star review

This vehicle is too low geared, it needs another gear top end and other gears upping. It is using too much fuel even on long runs.
