Welcome,

Miles sound good does it have any service history.Mk6 are a good van just check for rust especially round arches and sills. Vantuner can get more power out of a 85 if you need it.
if you want more info on the van you can post the reg number and im sure someone will do an etis on it and post it up for you.
The good thing with a Transit is that if one is no good there is always another one just round the corner.

........................ and I can report first hand, that 85ps, with a vantuner remap, are quite quick

Thanks for reply, it has Full franchise service history and only 2 owners.
sounds like vantuner's would be the way to go then

Some say that there is no other way

Just visited vantuner.com site looks and reads good.

He's a top bloke and really knows his stuff with these vans

No price on the site though is it very costly? Most things are these days I know, hope to see the van tomorrow if its as
good as the pictures it could be on the drive this week....

£250 ish also depends if he goes to you or you go to him

[GYPSYDOG]

Makes the £4500 price tag seem ok on this van just need to knock em down £250...

Looks like I need to look round that corner, this one had to much rust in all the wrong places!! looked good in picture
