If you type in transit reverse camera they come up on ebay, payed around 23 from a uk seller, great little camera tbh, and the screen was an eBay bargain at 200 with sat nav and everything, got full service print out with it and all previous mots,

Hi which JVC unit did you install and did you have to make any modifications to make it fit? Looking to change and install a reversing camera to my 08, you've made it look good! Cheers

Hi any NBC screen should fit in the hole, just need a facia and harness adapter for it to plug in and your away, most audio shops will fit them for a drink

That camera is available on eBay, search for Ford Transit camera and I'm pretty sure you'll find one.
There about £25.

How much work was involved with the LEDs and where did you get them I can't find them anywhere would be great to have the headlights too. Anyone selling them yet??

Nice looking van mate.

I work for royal mail and we borrowed a transit from another office last week. It was an 05 plate with 115K on it, every panel was dented and scratched and the interior was an absolute disgrace. By the time id pulled out of our car park my hands had turned black from all the sh*t on the steering wheel. It seems as though the smaller vans get better treatment than the transit size vans and it confirmed my view that I would never buy an ex royal mail transit. Hope yours has been better looked after than the ones ive seen.

Round here the small vans are getting taken home by the drivers, rather than being parked in the yard, that might help them be looked after!

Yeah our office is letting people take them home but it doesn't make a difference, they see it as a convenience not a privilege. My old works van was always clean inside and I always made sure it was serviced on time and was in the garage if any faults occurred. Royal Mail lads drive them no matter what's wrong and don't say a word until it's too late or someone else brings it up.
