Bluefin, DTUK Transit users test in the real world

[DTUK]

The customer is always right in my book Dave, and thats why i have an impecable record to date

At the moment things are difficullt for various personal reasons, and we have been like 2 ships that pass in the night

The 0845 number does tend to be busy during the day and i for one dont mind anyone calling me on the mobile at all. Thats why its advertised all over the net.

By all means please give me a call and we'll have a chat about this

Well I got my Bluefin today did the programing bit then went to start the van nothing nada zip had mild heart failure then cycled the locks and bingo off we go had a short drive about 10k and it certainly feels more lively been doing fuel consumption and had been getting around 12lt per 100km going to Port Macquarie on the weekend about 700k round trip and I'll be towing the car so that should give me a fair indication if it has helped the drivability and fuel consumption

Well the Bluefin is in and the van goes like stink driving sensibly I'm getting around 700k's to a tank, towing the car at 110kph about 470k's to a tank 5 ton all up so not to be sneezed at with the A/C on flat out have included a photo just so all you M1 users don't think this is the land of Milk and Honey its just the temperature thats different the jam was some twat with a caravan that was worth $1.00 tipped it over I offered to buy it off him for $2.00 cash and push it off the road he got all upset I thought it was a very generous offer then I saw a pair of his missus bloomers hanging in a tree and thought he had more problems than just awrecked van

Now i havn't read the whole lot but what i can add is that DTUK are highly regarded in the Ford Focus forum and the general advice there is toi go with them rather than the more expensive items that cost more but do exactly the same job.

Here's a link with some info if you're thinking of purchasing....

http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=98966

He might not like me posting this but forum memberts there get £60 off each purchase It's an old thread but plenty of modern stuff on there.

And i'm not plugging anyone and i've been a member at ffoc for 3 days under dansamsarah id.

Just a little info might help someone.

mate its noing witch type to go for , i am very pleased with bluefin and my van i think is pushing around 165 bhp maybe more it pulls like a train!
i was into focus as well ffoc has a local meet sometimes in my area! but now i dont have my focus anymore i have the transit!

[dan@dsfplumbing]

Quite right mate you pays yer monies and makes yer choices...

I'll be looking for one for the focus and i'll research all the options but at these sort of prices (they are ALL overpriced) i want garaunteed results which i can cross check and throw it back if thing don't wort out to minimum expected levels.

They are overpriced compared to my Dynojet Power Commanders i used on my bikes of old which i could buy, install and have a lovely lovely custom maps done all for £300.

What do you expect, the lowest output Transit with a towing axle? I would say you are lucky to get that much!

[paul phillpott]

towing axle?Had a 308d sprinter and it was a lot better on juice than this one, both tippers.the sprinter was a none turbo but 90+mph

[MrMPuk]

Like I said you have the lowest output engine and by towing axle I mean low geared, that's why it will only do 75.

[paul phillpott]

yes thanks, but why do you think it has a high gear axle,becouse its a chassis cab ? .i know nothing about them.had it a bout two month's now it was ex bt van. thanks paul

[MrMPuk]

yes thanks, but why do you think it has a high gear axle,becouse its a chassis cab ?

Yes, plus the fact it will only do 75!
