Got myself an E reg 2.5 Diesel Transit 190 Beavertail..... very used!
Some kind soul has replaced the front end for the newer type with the 'smiley' face. A hole in the drivers step will need filling come next MOT time, but for £950, shes dragged a few cars to their end already, and I've had her less than a month.
Must admit, I'm more Vauxhall orientated, but spares for Bedford CF's are non existent, and besides, if anything goes wrong with my Transit, then it 'should' be cheap to fix.
Its got its fair share of problems, mostly electrical. Leave your foot on the brake and switch off the engine..... and it keeps running!
Put your foot on the brake, and the dashboard lights up!
Alternator is on its way out, stick on the wipers and you get a dim battery light, chuck on the heater and its glowing like a good un!
It doesn't like hills too much, especially with a big lump like a Citroen XM perched on the back!
But other than that.... its alright really!
