Good vans, honest and cheap parts but a ball ache to work on so you either need some mechanical skill and patients or money to throw at labour costs after it runs out of warentee. Watch out for dodgy injectors. However you can't go wrong with a transit connect. FACT :grin:

jord, keep summat til end of warranty :laugh: :grin:
-
Ha! Yeah I'll throw it back after 2 years, fully maintained contract

Indeed but id still rather have my tranny than a vw. Also bizzarley mines FWD and so much more fun and better than the RWD! Oh and cheaper to buy!

Said it so many times before, forget the anti French thing, these and the Peugeot equivalent are the best cost effective, reliable vans on the road, had one in for a service last week, already done 100k in less than one year, so apparently now out of warranty, hence it coming to a Peugeot specialist, rather than being fleeced by a dealer...
Servicing intervals are super critical to get the best Starship like mileage...
Roll on all the nightmare stories about someone's mate that had one :rolleyes:

Jord will listen to you Mr ThomMk6 :wink:
