Looking on vantrader for a transit got a budget up to 3k so im not looking for a realy new one,what model would people recomend,and which one is the more powerfull?
cheers al

 

Im sure Jay has a LWB 2.4 Transit for sale atm

 

mk6 lpg, 2.3 petrol 16v, 145bhp, lpg cheaper than diesel, lpg at 75% of garages.

 

The lpg transits lack torque, i would get a 135 t350 rwd if it was my choice, or a 125 t280 if you don't need such a big van. What are you using it for?

 

Jay's van has sold.

 

what do you want to use it for?

do you want, a van?, luton?, pick up?

for 3k you could get a 02 plate mwb easily if you shop around.

 

would pick a 125 over a 135. power delivery is so much better. also 125's are di rather than tdci so bits are cheaper.

 

Spend less on a van and then add a yb!!

if it was my money id be looking for a late smilie transit with leccy windows and TD100bhp motor and low miles, much much better and reliable than newer crap.

i worked at a ford specialists for 5 yr and all we sold was engines, boxes fuelpumps and flywheels! if RWD axles are very very weak IMO.

I have a 75 swb, very happy with it, ain the most powerful but then does the job great and after all you don't want a work vehecle to guzzle lol

 

depends on the size of van you want. The numbers on the side are gross vehicle weight and power output. So a T350 90 will be a 3.5t van with a 90 bhp engine. i like the 135 for it's power and torque but the none tdci engines are more thrashable. The 135 drives more like a petrol turbo in it's power delivery.

 

this one

 

forgot to mention, second gear launches get the thing of the line damn quick! With the 135 you get the stronger 6 speed box and the DANA axle and a stronger dual mass flywheel which is always nice.
