They started using DOHC engines in the Ford cars, after about 1991, so I reckon a 1994 Transit would be DOHC as well, unless Matt tells us different :oops: 8) :D
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)
2004 Mk6 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.0 TDDi - Vantunered (Also gone)
2008 Mk7 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.2 TDCi - Also Vantunered

I have an EFi Pinto in my Sierra, but I think that they only injected the DOHC in the Transit :?

I AINT GOT 5K!

why would I put an ad on here if i didn't want one!! and one has massive mileage and is a heap, the other only has 6 seats and is a non turbo but I'm keeping an eye on it, and the other is 5 grand!
you may be able to travel hundreds of miles to pick vans up but I can't,
sod ebay I am asking TRANSIT OWNERS if they want to sell me their transit autos before they go on ebay, surely the best place to find a transit is a transit forum???!!
the one in middlesex is sort of what I want but not really and I have no way of getting there to collect it and he's also disabled and can't deliver, shame, but it's stupid to pay top dollar for one that's not what you want just because it's one of 2 on ebay!, there are always loads on ebay but most are rubbish, Yes I do want one, but not the first that comes along if it's not right I have not got much cash and it's a big mistake to rush in to a purchase just because it's the only one available, there must be someone in south england that is on here with one. ?
I will wait and see
I dont really want a petrol but if it's low mileage and a minter then I'd buy for the right price

Hi there, nice van btw, I tried shipley once before for collecting my range rover and even now I have had no reply and I have had the car a few months! luckily someone ended up bringing it on a trailer but it cost me 400 quid! so shipley were no good in that situation! and trouble is with shipley you wait to hear from people who will do the job and then have to arrange it all and the bloke wants it collected in 3 days!!!
i'm sure something will turn up if I win it, I've bid now so if i win I will have to do something,
I bid to show I want one!!!

higher a car trailer youve got your range rover, take a mate with you to help load it up, or your miss the bargains, if the vans are good they will sell them self's, not many people are going to deliver, ive done it try and help them out and when you get there they start knocking you down because they think well if hes bought it all the way over hear, he must need to sell it, if the van they got is worth the money there have people knocking on there door trying to buy it, owners on the forum if there van is good they no its going to make good money and on ebay it might make more money than they think. not many sellers will come to you.

I can't tow a lwb transit on a trailer!!!! I'm only allowed to tow 750kg ! and I don't think I would find a trailer big enough anyway!! i've never haggled on delivery before and loads of people have delivered to me when i bought and sold cars, anyway I have bid on the k reg one to show willing but god knows what I will do if i win, I'm not trailering that! and dont want to drive it untaxed either

if you win it cant you get a mate to give you a lift to pick it up, pay them deposit with pay pall, phone your insurance tell them you need cover note sent asap then when you go pick it up tax it which i gess for you is free and then drive it home

the bloke has taxed it now anyway, why would you presume my tax is free?? and I don't have any mates that would take me that far as most are working or too busy, and none of my family have a car that'll get there!!,
once I get there though should be a goo sluggish drive home!!!

just hope I don't stray into the lez zone as I have a useless sense of direction and I can't program my sat nav to avoid lez!!
