Some great info there fellas !! Cant make up my mind but you get more for your money with ford though.  ;D
I have a new Custom coming in March, Pure h20 put me onto nationwidecars and it saved me £1500 on what a dealership could do.

I got lucky on mine really. Cancelled order with some toys.

Just priced mine up and the dealer was slightly more money, but i had the van with 14 days.

My mate just went with nationwide and got a stonking deal on a new car. Even Ford said go with them hahahahah

Got a custom, had it 6 months.

Have to say i love it. Just waiting on a new connect now and i think that will be just as nice tbh (inside cab and to drive)

Only gripes are i wish i went for LWB and the biggest engine.

I am having it remapped in scotland and the chap has said it will be identical to the top engine. Only difference on my engine vs biggest IS the mapping

Where you having it remapped mate?

I've got a hiace and looking to see its viable to get mine remapped.

Check & see if Superchips do a Bluefin remap, save you a trip to Scotland & you can add & remove it yourself at will. I had my 2.2 4x4 remapped with the Bluefin & it's like a completely different car- in every way! It's untraceable too. ;)

He is considered the best for the mk7 transit and the custom uses the same engine.

That's why I am travelling up to him :)

I wouldn't be too confident if his website is anything to go by.

Anyhow, you do know you can kiss goodbye to your Ford warrantee as far as engine & electronics goes? You will have to inform your insurance as your van would be modified & they may may refuse to insure you- although you will get insured by some companies most probably with an increased premium.

Have you checked the Superchips website to see if they do a Bluefin remap for your variant? If they do I would seriously consider it. Superchips are probably the best known in the industry with an impeccable reputation. The Bluefin unit allows you full control- it's a hand held electronic unit which plugs into your diagnostic port & you install/uninstall the map at will. It only takes approx 4 minutes. You can download revised maps (should you have any issues) & have a complete new remap within minutes. I'll not go into fine detail of how remapping an ECU works in different ways but the Bluefin is untraceable all bar actually dyno testing, but for peace of mind it's so quick & simple to just go back to the original manufacturers map for when you have any warrantee/service work carried out by Ford etc.

for those wondering about the torque etc, I have the bi-turbo model and it drives just as well / fast as any other van I have driven with no difference with 650 in the back, it is just as quick as the transit , doblo and ducato that i have used in the past

Warranty wilp be void.

Insurance increase of £45 -£90

He is considered THE best on just about every ford forum I know and use.

The ecu HAS to be opened up so doubtfull on superchip.
