Hi guys. Looking to purchase my first Transit for transporting 2 mx bikes within the next 2 months. Have joined your wonderful forum to glean as much info as I can before I start looking.
As per my original question, is it possible to but a decent Transit for £3000? Ideally i'll be looking for a SWB with a medium roof. Most of what I'm seeing in my price range is the 2.2 engined version, how is this for reliability? Are there any impending doom scenarios I need to look out for other than the standard diesel engine stuff such as turbos, injectors, DMF & EGR valves etc? I know rust can play a big factor, generally where are the key areas to check?
Also is it true with the 2.2 engine, any version under 125ps has a solid flywheel and not dual mass?
Also I see different models such a T280, T350 etc, what do these model numbers denote?
Thanks in advance.
