Morning. Just bought a Tourneo from the dreaded ebay.
Had some fun with insurance (it seems most companies frankly don't know what to do with these) but all sorted now.
So far I'm pretty impressed.
Early impressions:
The 125ps TDCI can't get anywhere near my old 100bhp DTI Zafira for outright speed but then she is dragging more weight and air resistance... that said its a lot smoother and even quieter than the VX lump - acceleration however is frankly silly for a big van.
Arch lips are grotty, shes done 260k on the clock and the panel gaps on one sliding door are terrible - though it still shuts fine. Other than the above this in very good nick and the seats are like being hugged by a big sofa.
I guess you could call me converted. I'd always been a Ford man in the past and am somewhat saddened to find they still rust (the same-age Zafira is galvanised - Why Ford why??) but I'm already being won over by the big bus's character.
Hoping to do some minor mods just to tidy her up. The rear windows don't open but I'm sure I've seen some with opening 'flaps' or whatever in the glass. Also there's no rev counter so some dash upgrades might be on the cards.
Being a Mk6 she already has the nicer looking (if less aggressive) front end so that'll stay as it is. Local scrappy has no less than 6 in stock so I'll be off to grab a towbar later for my trailer.
