Hi all
I currently have a 1989 transit motorhome with the 2.5Di which I drive across Europe in a few times a year, its been really reliable and despite some issues it has always got us all home. I am now selling my 90tdi defender to get a swb van so I can transport mine and the kids bike easily but I am really not sure if I buy a newer transit, find a half decent mk 3/4/5 or go for something completely different such as a Hiace.
With occasional trips across Europe with the whole family on board reliability is the most important factor to me with ease of repair being second.
There is a low mileage mk 4 transit near me which is in very good condition but the price is 4k, I could get a mk 6 for that and have a little more refinement on the long drives and
Ideally I would like to spend 3k Max on the van.
So, what engine would you guys go for, how reliable is the tdci or would I be better finding a TD engine or even another Banana?
Many Thanks
James
