07/08 Transit

Postby stailfish » Sat Mar 07, 2015 9:09 am

Hi, Im new to this forum and this is also my first Tansit in years. Had a mk1 camper 10 years ago. v4 great little wagon...
Im looking at buying a 07-08 van. Mainly due to cost, LWB, MHR. Im about to look at a 07 2.4l 100ps. Are all 07's 5spd? or are the 08's better? and which would be the best engine for fuel economy, 2.2 or 2.4? rwd, fwd? or is there not much difference. and which ps? I guess 100 min so there is a good bit of power. I wont be pulling big loads to often. Sorry for all the Q's but any info will help. Cheers

All pre 2012 100ps are 5 speed.
Better looking for a 115, they are 6 speed
Personally I think rwd are a nicer drive
Ford Transit Custom 280S Trend 105ps
Does this train stop on Merseyside?
