Transit all the time,

At my work i've seen & used Ldv (06 maxus & 02 convoy) maxus utter crap but the 02 convoy ok workhorse, sprinter's too bulky & top heavy, ford rangers, citreon's, vauxhall's & everyone at my work agree's a transit is the way ahead

I personally own a 350/90 51 plate semi-high transit & so far so good, previous transit was a mk5 m reg SWB

you are asking the members of a ford transit forum if you have done the right thing by ordering a new transit opposed to the sprinter :lol: :lol:
shoulda bought a sprinter mate loads of fun in the corners, and comes with a lifetimes supply of coffee and comfy seat, all fitted in the dealers while another brakedown is sorted :lol:

of course you bought the best van :wink:

I worked on the basis that I could have either bought a Sprinter and run it til the fuel pump developed some weird fault that means amputating my wallet/scrapping the van, or bought a Transit, and had the money left to buy another Transit when this one rusts away to nothing :mrgreen:
