What the difference?

[Anthony]

I know I shouldn't ask this and I will probably be hated by many lol; but What is the difference between the Mk3 and Mk4 Transit apart from the slightly curved lights Until I joined the Transit club I thought the current transit was the mk6 so was surprised to see it called a mk7 lol. So just intreged what makes it so different to be called a different mk

[MrMPuk]

IFS on the whole range not just LWB.
Bonnet, wings and slam panel.
Seats.
Introduction of Turbo Diesel.
Introduction of a true LWB not just extended body.

I'm sure I've missed loads but it's a start.

theres more differences between mk3 and mk4 than there are in mk1 and mk2

some more - front hubs, brakes, axle and rear side panels

LWB available in single wheel

And Mike LWB MK3's were beam SWB were IFS

OK then. Most LWB were single wheel

The way its written sounds like it was LWB mk3's that had ifs

[Anthony]

So there was many diffences under the skin. Just looked the same

So your point is what? The Mk4 were all IFS, so that would be a difference then!

[MrMPuk]

No, they only really look the same to the untrained eye.

[Anthony]

Do you have to be trained to be a transit fan then lol

[MrMPuk]

Do you have to be trained to be a transit fan then lol

No, just to tell the difference or was that not the question?
