Here's some pictures of our Transit camper.



Rear doors are off a mates Popular hence mark on door where badge was.



Van is in generally good shape but drivers front wheel arch needs attention over winter.

Bought spring this year, 93,000 miles. Only major problem so far was blowing exhaust manifold. Broken stud. I took head off and drilled broken stud and managed to use extractor to get remnants out ( 1st time I've used one without it breaking ). I lightly ground valves in and replaced valve stem seals ( curing smoky starts ) and replaced cam. Its not fast but cruises at 55/60 nicely, doesn't like hills. Went to Suffolk in August and averaged 28mpg. Towing trailer with bike on knocks it back to 25mpg at best.

It's not so bad if you can get a decent run up and keep her in top but if you have drop down a gear your buggered.

28MPG from a pinto

Think itwas ideal conditions ie no hills, constant running and taking it steady. Not matched it since. A mate tows a caravan with 2ltr volvo and he's getting similar mpg.
