I was going to get a Transit Connect but gone off the idea as I see so many problems with them.

Having used one for the last 18 months but van has been with company 6-7 years I can say its not been unreliable (let us down once, starter motor gone) dash problems fairly occasionally (dead dials, still drives ok) and not been serviced well at all it's stood up to it all. And no corrosion problems unlike proper trannys. Can't really fault it especially for the life it's led.

Perhaps I've got that wrong,or just certain models give trouble.

... A plumber had it before and it must have had a rough life!

Say no more; he probably tried running it on water! :jester:

They do have their common faults, but then what vehicles don't. Gimme a ford over something French any day!

Im on my second Renault Trafic sport, had three vivaros in the past. Superb vans. I went to renault as you got more for your money, better deals and better customer service.
had a call from Dales in cornwall the other day, they have New Trafic sports in stock for £12500+VAT

1005 tax deduction, something shiney to drive and like you say, its your shop front.
No brainer really.

Drive something other than an agricultral transit for a day and you'll never buy a ford again...

Anyone know when the new Transits are coming out? (Not that I can afford one.)

I have seen and spoken to owners with the Hyundai iload they have loved them and like the cars have a long warranty I think (might be wrong).
I am sticking with my T4, 12 years old, looking reasonably good and has never let me down (I might regret typing that now) I do however have an oil leak on the crankshaft seal that I really must do!
