    Good Points: cheap and cheerful Sometimes does what it says on the tin (if its not in the garage that is)

    Bad Points: Windscreen leaks (rust all around top of screen needed to get a new windscreen to temporarily sort that out) general rust on bodywork. The van has proved to be very unreliable in 76000 miles of long distance work. Here is just a few things that would appear to be standard points of failures on these vans. 1- Injection pumps leak (1000 + Fitting and hard to get hold of must be done by someone who has the ability to code the ecu! who is going to nick it anyway! perhaps someone who likes to throw money away as I certainly wouldn't use it as a get away van) 2- Charging light comes on but battery is still being charged, (until today that is! back to the dealer again as they are the only people with the diagnostic kit). 3 - Gearbox remote packed up (could only select 2nd gear very common apparently) still I was told by the garage that fixed it (and who were very reasonable) that it was lucky I didn't have the version that dropped a bolt down ito the gearbox as this smashes the entire gearbox to bits, clutch, flywheel the lot. Whehey got away lucky there. 4 - Bottom hose went due to ingress of diesel from the leaking pump, that wasn't cheap either. Time to let the thing go to someone that might appreciate it, as I certainly don't.

    General comments: Ford Transit 260 75ps Do yourself a favour and stay away from this model! Ford used to make good reliable vans. What happened? They now appear to be, well, a bit troublesome and very badly finished. Its not as if I have just been unfortunate as I know courier drivers whos transits have all suffered from the majority of the aforementioned faults. Well ITS SPRINTER TIME FOR ME.In my opinion If you value your business stay well clear of it.

    After owning a Ford Transit 260 for just over a year I have gone from running a fairly successful business to being almost bankrupt due to it constantly being in the workshop. The main dealers quality of work is poor, Ford customer relationship centre is a joke. Take my advice and steer well clear of any Ford vehicle.

    Ford transits are the bast becasue they can carry anything anywhere. The engines are a bit lame and go louder after you have had it for about a year but the upholstery is nice.

    Having driven transits in various guises for years, I have had a "y" plate and an "03" plate Ford Transit 260 75bhp SWB Van and I am thoroughly un-impressed. Both vans had to have brake discs fitted every 30k, the y plate had the n/s/r hub fall off completely at 82k,it needed an alternator by 85k and the central locking "plip" was un-reliable. My 03 reg van has 33,500 miles and is seldom out of the dealer. Again discs by 20k, loss of power due to chafed under-bonnet wiring, a dubious rattle from ...

    I bought the Ford Transit 260 Van 2 years ago and I can honestly say that it's the best van I've ever driven. I chose the 100 psi engine for the extra power, whilst still retaining the extra low load height that the front wheel drive offers. It is very fast thanks to the excellent turbo diesel and very economical. Mine is fully loaded with full steel bulkhead, electric windows, screen, mirrors and locking etc, has Aircon and tinted windows. It is so nice to drive that I got rid of my BMW and go ...

    In my opinion after driving the Ford Transit 260 for 25,000 miles, I am very satisfied with the running costs, and the comfort levels to a point, compared to the older 2.5 transit that I covered 150,00 miles in. There is a great deal of improvments but I must say that because of every other manufacturers advancments on power levels, you always feel like your getting left behind on this model, so I would say leave this model for the cake deliveres, of the world and go for the 100 hp model or bet ...
