Good van

I've an 11 plate, it's ok , no probs as yet, suggest in hindsight get the 6 speed 2-0 litre.
If the brand new shape transit was out, defo would gone for that.
Have a look , google new shape transit, it really looks fab.
Fuel economy on this expert van is poope....
Although I do have a large truck mount in it.......


Mr B
If in doubt.....Leave it out !!

Pugs need cam belts replacing Before their 100,000 mile /10 year limit.
Just spent £930 on mine and it only slipped a couple of teeth.
Only part needed was a rocker arm £15, all rest labour!

Check dpf filter has been replaced , and timing belt will need doing
So if not done add £1k to price to cover it.

Strange, I've got a Dispatch (basically same van) 2007 2.0 HDI and runs like a beast. Plenty of power, good cornering, and that's loaded.

second that ! mines an old style 52 plate hdi.
bought at 72,000 on clock had the cam belt slip by end of the year = £1200 damage  :(
Like my van though, perfect size for me with a 650 tank

just check the cam belt has been replaced or budget for it / may help haggle the price
