Comfortable driving at 30mph?

[ake]

Googling Vantuner, I found vantuner.co.uk based in Uxbridge, not very, very far from me but not just round the corner. Have I found the right one? What makes him better than the fella I just used?

Vantuner, Martyn is a trusted friend of myself, and many others on here, he has remapped all my vans, and it was immediately obvious, and I've never had an issue with any of them. He writes his own maps, rather than down load generic ones, and his customer service is the best in the business
It's worth the drive to go to him.
Trust me, I'm from Perth!

By the way, I can't help out much with Transit advice, but I can with gardening or growing plants, so if I can give something back in this area, please ask me in a PM or post it on non-transit talk, let me know it's there

Turtle power
They aren't that bad I used to have a swb mk6 75 and a lwb 90 at the same time and they were about the same speedy wise
If your going to map it you may as well put an intercooler off a 100? On it too
As you haveny even got one

Ok Folks,

I'll see how it goes with this remapping I've just had done. Vantuner is on holiday till 18th Apr, so we'll see after that.

Bigjohnthomas, please can you explain?............

Now then, now then, the 75ps has no intercooler some folk fit the intercooler off the 100ps in an attempt to make it more speedy quickly brum brum no?

Thanks bjt, that's something I'll think about.

I just asked Ford about this issue and if the gearbox is wrong, and they advised to go to a local Ford dealer.

So all I'm worried about is that they charge me a whole load of money for not much. What do you say, should I go to them (it'll be Sky Ford in Watford), or do you recommend someone else local to Watford, Herts?

I've just done some driving around with a full van and 2 rather heavy passengers, and it did seem to have quite a lot more pull than before, but the 3rd/4th gear 30mph problem remains.

I think your problem with 30 mph 3rd 4th gear issue is a transit thing, mines the same 30 in 3rd, 35-40 in 4th, what ratio is your gearbox mine 4.54, I don't find it an issue unless and stuck behind someone doing bang on 30 then its annoying. N

I wouldn't waste your time. Ford will have zero interest in a 17 year old van, unless you know its full history, who knows how many times the gearbox has been changed?

[Karst]

How would I find out the ratio of my gearbox? What does the figure mean? Is it the ratio of each gear to the next one?

[ned]

Stick your reg into ford etis twill tell you all you need to know. N

[Karst]

Thanks Ned.

It says my axle ratio is 4.54, nothing about the gearbox.

Are all Transits like this at 30mph but we kind of just don't take any notice of it?

Same as mine 4.54, and mine does the same as yours at 30, I think that's how they are but i could be wrong. N

[Karst]

That is absolutely ridiculous. This is not the end of the matter.

Really..?? What do you intend to do??

Ford will do nothing to help for your 17 year old van.
