Buying a new van

[columbo]

i would say the mid 2000s transit connect was hard to beat. the only times we had them in for repairs was to fix leaking thermostat housings. apart from that it was just general wear n tear. tyres/brakes etc.

My last van before this one was an 06 Transit. Loved it & wish I had bought another but I was swayed by a new Vivaro which was cheaper than a two year old Transit.
A bit of cosmetic rust on the Transit was out of order though in these days when the vast majorityof other vehicles just don't rust

No telephone No. School boy error when sign writing your new van.
Also using that much oil a OFTEC sticker wouldn't go amiss.
