Mk5 Model History

[lolliedog]

I am wondering what options are available in relation to Mk5 transits with regards wheelbase, Carring capacities and roof heights. I have looked for a model history but cant locate one on the net or forum.

Many Thanks

You should have included that in the engine question never mind

SWB LWB for wheel base you also have the high cube and long cube still lwb but with extended body.

Then you have heights

No high roof, Semi high roof and high roof

The all wheel bases come with all roof heights

then you have the weights this a rough guide

80, 100, 120, 150, 190 its basically KGS x 10

eg 80 x 10 = 800 kgs

I believe Swb only goes to 120 Lwb only available from 100 though I could have that bit wrong.

What do you want your van for

[lolliedog]

Sorry about not including this in my engine quetion. I am new to the forum. I only joined today.
The van will be used for light building work.

No high roof

Or Low Roof as everyone else calls it.

80, 100, 120, 150, 190 its basically KGS x 10

230

230

2.3 ton doesn't that go over 3.5 ton which would then mean you need a different licence

Thankyou now I know for next time someone asks

That would depend very much on your particular licence, and whether the plated GVW is over 3500kg

Thats what I was getting at does the 230 go over the 3500 GVW if it does then if you passed your test after 1997 then you can't drive it with your licence

[MrMPuk]

That would be tonne not ton. Correct you would need class 3 to drive it on a post 97 license but they are a piece of piss to downrate.

[madmark_50484]

Excellent so would that be the DRW high cubes then

Also assumably 1000 KGs = 1 Ton

what does 1 tonne weight

[madmark_50484]

Don't worry I just googled (took your other option )

1 ton = 1.016 tonnes you would have thought when they invented metric why didn't they give it a new name

[Altransit]

They did and called it a metric tonne, rather than a ton
