Turbo Swop or not ???

Postby bigtaloola » Sun Oct 19, 2008 2:05 pm

Hi I have just bought a turbo transit M reg SWB with power steering and no MOT it drives well and steering seems to be OK? I just need the good and the bad of turbo transits and the dose and don'ts. My old but still very very good L reg SWB was and still is a 2.5 non turbo transit so just some pointers just got van today 17/10/08 so give me the must dose now I have a turbo

This was the post in Mrk3,4&5 second ect:

I emaild luke about where to place a SWOP for a Mrk5 non turbo (my van will have a MOT on it for the swop) and part of the reply was
"turbo models - i think hunting on tickover is a bad thing - but Ive never owned one"
My reply
On tickover its like a Swiss watch "sweet" its a good van its just I don't do big mileage and have never had a turbo. I just want a van Mrk5 because I have back troubles and it is comfy me to drive

Any way I have placed it in here just incise I keep it and I will let you see the before and so on any way has any one got a SWOP ??
cheers Dave

This is my van I hope its right
