Hello everyone, not posted on here for some time since i last had a transit.
I went to the dark side and bought an 06 Fiat Ducato SWB 2.0 JTD, which has now covered 279,000 miles Couple of months ago the alternator cable snapped and ever since it has played up, engines starts clicking and then cuts out when i try to accelerate to hard, so takes me forever to get to 70/80 and now recently engine light comes on while driving down the motorway and then just cuts out on me
So time for another van. Now i like the Ducato/Boxer/Relay MWB/LWB vans and i have seen a few 04/06 ones with the (apparently good economy) 2.2 HDi engines, they have done around 100k so still bearly ran in. and i have also seen a Transit 06 350 135ps LWB.
Now i know your all going to say the transit lol but i would be grateful if some people that have/had one could give me some info like good and bad points. My main concern with having a bigger van (which i do need and have done for some time with my SWB being over weight most of the time) is the MPG, how much do most get out of theirs.
I travel all over the country up and down the motorway generally its loaded going out and empty coming back. I am well used to be heavy footed, but got used to driving normally between 70/80 for the last few months so hopefully that will continue.
Any info most grateful
Thanks Mike
