I want one....

[DHTiling]

Just looking at the new transit custom in the black Sport model ..... :drool5:

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh i want one...

 

[jonnyc]

have you seen a good price for this .
would you choose a new transit over nissan primastar or vauxhall vivaro.
ive got a 56 plate transit and 54 plate primastar and due to upgrade old primastar.
transit still seem to get good reports but i found the bodywork very thin compared to primastar. you feel the difference just opening the door of each . the primastar is much heavier and solid.
that said i have had no mechanical problem with transit .
had none with transit till year ago and then loads of things gone wrong so time to change.

Nice. But I'm not sure I'd swap last years model for that one. Not really that much difference IMO. Just different styling.

They wont change too much with a transit as it's been trusted for decades pretty much exactly how it is now.

Vans will be the death of me mine broke down today well and truely peeeeeeeeeeeeeeed off :incazzato:

 

[Gazzer]

What happened ?

 

[Dan]

Weather-related?

 

[strummerman]

Clutch burnt out on a 8 month old van

 

[Gazzer]

mileage ? Cant be that much surely.

 

[strummerman]

17000 miles then i had some mad AA man tow me on a fixed bar which was pretty hair raising . Then to top it off some s... a... at the garage said it mite be the way i drive

 

[Gazzer]

Clutches are not covered by warranties are they ?

 

[strummerman]

they are trust me

 

[Dan]

They can be if you can prove it's not just worn out, but failed. Take a look when it's taken out, don't just trust their judgement.

 

[Dan]

they are trust me

That's my man! lol

 

[strummerman]

ITS a brand new van sorry was

 

[Tony73]

clutch should last for 60 000-80 000 miles

what van is it?

 

[Gazzer]

Too right it should be , I am sure 17000 is far below its expected life .

 

[Dan]

They might try push the old 'well you carry weight etc etc' thing still. But make sure you look at it, you'll be able to tell if it's worn or failed. If it's worn it'll be to the screws and evenly spread, if it's failed you'll find marks on it around the edge of it, or what look like gashes in it that have worn down (like small inverted humps). Had loads of clutch / gearbox issues this last 18 months myself.

There might actually be a 30k warranty on it or something though? No quibbles jobby?
