You'll never beat the old smiley-face Transit. No wonder you see a lot of the newer ones for sale with around 50-70000 on them. Great channel, love your "diplomatic" approach!

You cant beat transits love them.i have driven 1 of them on a 16 plate mostly overloaded to be fair to,its got 170000miles on it no problems except a turbo at 155000 miles.we have allso the one before with 210000 miles on now and still going strong.they just drive so much better than fiats,shitreons and sprinters.strange how some can go forevor and others can fail so early.love your barn find videos.

Have a fleet of these at work and looked after in house by the fitters 😂 the box vans are absolutely awful now with 150k on. They are used and abused on recycling rounds where you can’t get a truck to. The old favourite is limp mode due to dpf. The cage vans all tippers used generally lighter usage are ok but only have 80k on them now. Unfortunately fitters are a fickle bunch, one box van had an oil leak so the fitter put a rag there to stop the oil, topped it up and said job done, oil soaked rag then went to a nice hot part of engine or exhaust and then smoke everywhere, the actual mechanic come out and discovered it and brought it back to be fixed properly.

Transits do not deserve to be the top selling van/commercial. I have ran Ford cars for 38 years and commercials for 30 years. They used to be simple and reliable but not now. The Mk4 and Mk5 Transit minibuses had the fantastic Di engine, slow but unbreakable. That is what the Diesel engine was designed for, reliability, fuel economy but not 'performance'. Despite careful washing the under wings and treating the underside of my Transits, they still rotted like hell. The build quality of Transits is rubbish. Now they have the wet belt design. They must be on a bankruptcy mission. I would never buy another Ford again.

TDCI engines suffer from a number of user problems, owners listening to these muppets who tell you i can save you 10% of your fue by leaning the mixture in the ecu but by doing this you are brewing nitrous oxide in the cylinder and we all know you put nitrous to an engine to make it faster nitrous also increases thr burn temp , = melting pistons also a little side note to this if you labour the engine you will cause a lean burn condition ( and lead to piston melt so if your a lasy driver that does not change down a gear when required your causing the piston melt
