Post by: LWC on May 27, 2008, 08:44:54 pm
really fancy one, but theyre going for silly money or have 200k + miles...

could have a new shape transit (not newest) for some of the prices i see them going for!

I have a t4 its rusting fast the speedo has packed in the fuel gauge is dodgy and its slow to pick up in the morning and I'd prefer the gear lever to be on the dash as in the later models other than that its fine. ;)

Yep I agree I probably did get a bad one I know they are usually good, hopefully I'll  be able to buy new next time.

had one for 15mths good van overall very hard to find one with low miles mine had 187000 miles on the clock sold it for the same money i bought it for the year before not bad going it had cost quite a bit to run (repairs) everthing takes ages to get too as the engine bay is very tight!  i have now a ducato not as speedy but it keeps my fuel bill down one of the main reasons for selling still i used to get 500 mile to a tank of diesel which is not bad going as it was a 2.5 tdi 102 fastest van i've ever had unfortunatley i had to be sensible with my current choice  needed to be a lot newer as mots were getting expensive ! if i could of bought a newer one i would have  may be in the future i will

T4's are galvaised so shouldn't rust quickly. If you get an ex-AA one they have been upgraded..... Brakes, alternator, etc, some even chipped to increase power and mpg.....  AA ones were serviced every 5000miles too.... Has mine since Dec and thoughly impessed with it.....
