hands free kit dont work,problem with mics but they dont have a replacement just want to stick an ordinary mic to the roof lining or leave it the way it is.At the moment i have to stop to talk on the phone. I bought a new ford ranger limited at the same time and it has the same mics as the transit and works perfect but yet they say they cannot replace them. The floor liner in the back is very slippery,i had drums of sealer slide and spill which ran out the side door down the paintwork,its alot worse on fuel compared to the old one,even the ranger does 5 mpg more. i think it catches the wind alot more on motorway,there is always noise in the back even if its empty. Maybe its just me but i thought when you spend 30 grand you would get better.It is fast though but my advice would be not to buy one unless mine is for sale

Thanks for your honest review, tbh the first year or so will always have teething issues IMHO :wink: I'll be sticking with my remapped 140 mk7 ATM

While im very envious,its a very very nice van i cant help thinking for the the flag ship model its very unstriking.

With the MK7 sport you could spot them a mile away,stripped or not.While all the bits are there i think theres little possibility of a second glance by many and thats a real shame as im sure van owners have never had it so good.

These look like the Ford Transporter T5, too "global". They are a nice van, but not a Transit by a long mile.

The load liner is shocking , it's like glass as mentioned and stuff slides all over , in some areas the van is amazing and in others it begs the question did they ever test or think about this

I assume it is the plastik flor.
I took mine out and installed a plywood with nonslippery surface

its a good idea to put in plywood on the floor but remember we paid a bigger price for these vans because of all the extras they had like the super slippery lining.although i do find it handy for unloading as you just open the back doors and take off and the load should be in the same place as where you were parked

:D yes. I dont no if i payd ekstra, but it is an ekstra price that i had to bye plywood for the flor, walls and sealing,
Perhaps the dif to the "limited" wasnt so big after all.
But now it is like i want with the grey pluwood all over.

Nice pix, thanks. I've just ordered a white one. Not that bothered about the bodykit, TBH, but I can't stand the piddly little wheels on the Limited. It had to be the Sport for me.

The dciv limited has a better floor but feels very thin.
