Well obviously we can all see the rust on the front/rear arches but other than that the pictures do it justice :) looks pdg for an N plate and in my opinion the most reliable series ever built :wink:

My first Transit was a T plate back in 98 and it never had a spanner on it..apart from servicing and i used to cane the poor thing,drove it through a deep flood one night ..the water was that deep even me headlights still worked under water..bit worrying at the time but i thought well i'm in ere now i'll just carry on going ...Had no probs tho with the van after. :wink: Bloody marvellous :D

There is something on yours where you can open up the pump..Don't ask me how tho.. :roll: It'll probably smoke a bit but i'm sure someone on here will be able to go in to more detail :wink:
