How to know what the letters mean !!!

Postby Dave Mason » Sun Jun 13, 2010 1:21 pm

Hi There

I'm looking at buying a newer transit. I know how to work out the older numbers, as their quite easy... but I can't understand the newer models...
ie..
90 T280
100 T280
135 T300
Etc...

Can someone please explain...

I'm looking for a long wheelbase, Semi High Top, with engine around 100 / 110 Brake Horse

I've seen a long wheel base locally , 54 plate, with the markings 100 T 280, it's done 120,000 miles 2 owners, a back door & side loader has dents, & mag wheels. He wants £2500, ... I've had a look underneath at the chasis & looks in good condition, very clean... But the sump cover is very wet with oil, looks like leak is coming from above... Any ideas....

Thanks in Advance

Dave

First figure is the engine power in PS, and the second figure is the Gross Vehicle Weight in kg (just add a nought on the end)

So a 75/260 is a 75ps engined 2600kg GVW van :wink:

This may be of some use .....

The oil leak is probably diesel from the injector pump :(

Highlight and copy the text, and then paste it in to your word processor, or even notepad will do :wink:
