Postby leodis » Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:44 pm

Hi new to this forum, off to look at a 98 100 swb tranny, well been told it's a 100 comes up as an 80 when getting insurance quote? anyway what do I need to look out for apart from the usual rot? it's done 130k and looks clean, cheers!

Hi I can't help you with the golden sort of advice this forum tends to give like "if the nearside front wheel is mouldy it means there has been a can of coke in the van between 1992 and 1997" but I can tell you there is a link on this forum to the ford ETIS website where you can put the reg. no in and it will come back with the spec as Ford have it down which will settle the PS figure for you.
