Sorry Bob We have 3 transit customs in work and they are shit compared to the transporters, we have 3 of them, 2 of them went in for new injectors at 16000 miles when we said we have another shall we bring it down they said ford know its an issue but wont do anything about it until you break down. another fault was the wiper motor packed in and we had another where it wouldn't start, lights on but when you turned the key nothing checked all the fuses and nothing battery is in the most ridiculous place to get at so i thought fuck it and called recovery. They took it away and found a blown fuse in with the battery easy enough you'd think but no had to plug it into a diagnostic tool to reset everything before it would start. I've probably put more than half a million miles on various transporters over the years and i cant think of any that let me down. The only thing the transits we got have the advantage is their mid tops so you can stand up in them and are good to work out of.

I was originally looking at a VW T6 , make silly money compared to transit not as nice inside , although they will hold their money better , Injector problem on transits was a bad batch of injectors , those that  have  em should be on a re call list  …. I’m happy with it at the moment .

I've heard lots of horror stories about them Fred.  My boss bought this one in lockdown and even specced it with an auto box (for me), it's done 17,000 miles in the first year with absolutely no problems.

What year are your work vans ?

I got to be honest if i was going to buy a van it would be a transit with a medium roof just for the standing room mainly because VW don't do anything like it

They are all about 3 years old. My transporter is also a 2017 and has the 7 speed duel clutch transmission its a dream to drive, I've put 75000 miles on it so far. He usually changes them at 100000 miles i'm praying for another auto i don't think i could go back to manual now
