Ford Transit Tipper 2009

Within five hundred miles of new purchase both leaf springs on each side of axle broke off and fell in the road causing the truck to go back under warranty. The truck was not over loaded the repair garage told me that the leaf springs and main spring were not fitted properly on manufacture. When they fitted new springs I asked for a report in writing from the repair garage so I could go to Ford Motor Company for compensation through loss of earnings but they refused to give me a written copy. Also I agree with other peoples’ reviews that the truck has very poor fuel consumption and I wait to see what other problems will emerge in the future while under warranty, I will let you know.

Ford Transit Tipper swb 110 ps 2008

This is the worst purchase I’ve made, 6000 mls on clock and it’s already on it’s third gearbox. I’ve had the dash insulated to try to reduce gearbox noise, the gear select itself is poor. There is also a knocking noise from the front suspension and the side door comes off the roller, nightmare! Ford customer service is not interested, so be warned! Oh, before I forget, the engine malfuncion light is on regularly, Ford say there is a ghost on the ECU; it’s time they employed the ghost busters!

Good working van with good pulling power but poor diesel consumption.

Ford Transit Tipper lwb dcab 2004

125ps had to have a new clutch at 30k no help from Ford. Heavy on fuel; 380miles on a tank. Revs keep dropping down to tickover when you are driving - not good! Lots of power in the engine; pulls fully laden well.

Ford Transit Tipper double cab 2007

Better than a car to drive empty, clutch doesn€™t have much guts in it loaded, short gear ratios make it fairly nippy but kill mpg - around 300miles to 70 odd litres worth so about 80 quid.

After 20179 miles the clutch burnt out and ford are trying to say driver misuse i have driven a lease tipper for over a year without any problems i do not overload or keep my foot on the clutch i always use the hand break one minute it was working the next i could not get any gears so be warned you will not be under warranty.

Ford Transit Tipper

I hired a ’07, 100ps model and it was great but i was hoping to get better fuel economy than what i get with my 2000 75ps model but it was just the same. 400 miles to £80 of diesel. I hope the newer model transits aren’t plagued by gearbox, flywheel and diff problems like the earlier 2000 on models..
