Good Points

Good vision, comfortable seating, acceptable build quality, good payload.


Bad Points

Clutch needed replacing at 70,000 miles, apparently this is a common fault and the dealer informed me that a new fly wheel was needed also, so we came to a compromise that I'd pay for the clutch parts and the flywheel and labour would be covered by the warranty. I was quite happy with that.
Both front wheel bearings needed replacing at 90,000, again covered by warranty.
The black wire covers that take the wiring from the body to the back doors both became kinked and then split, again this was done under warranty.


General Comments

I bought this Ford Transit 350 LWB HR 125bhp van with 50,000 miles on it when it was 18 months old and it's now done 132,000 after 2 years of ownership. I'll probably run it for another 60,000 all being well. I must say I was surprised how good the dealer was about stuff covered by the warranty. If your looking to buy a transit, I'd recommend you try and get one with rear doors that fold all the way back to the van sides. I think all jumbos have them as standard but on the LWB, it was an extra and I've found them a real bonus. Mine also has parking sensors fitted, again these are a great idea.
