Hi. I'm new on here and what you might call a disgruntled T5 owner. Had enough of paying silly money for repairs to the T5; how does £11 for a radio knob sound? I've always liked the look of the new Transit and had a look around one yesterday. I'm thinking of picking one up but would like some advice please.
I would be using the van for leisure purposes, camping weekend, running motorbikes around and kipping in the back. So some questions on what to look out for before I start reading up on it
1. Are there any things to watch out for, warranty upgrades, fixes etc.?
2. When do the big services occur, such as cambelt changes, etc.?
3. Are there any weak spots to look out for?
4. Sources for good vehicles. My google searches bring up places like JS Vans and loads of places in South Wales.
Also I have a Fiamma wind out awning on my T5 and use a privacy room when I'm away racing to load all my stuff into so I can kip in the back. However I do see that the Transit side door goes above the roof line. Has anyone got a solution for this or an alternative awning idea.
Thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you
