Title: My private hell has begun!
Post by: Yoshi on January 15, 2008, 21:00:10
The fiesta went in tonight to have some warranty work done on it tomorrow.  Seeing as how i wouldnt have their normal courtesy car, a Ford Ka, they gave me the only other alternative.................................. a Ford Transit Connect!!

I must admit though that the engine in it is spot on, but for some reason the passenger seat is fixed solid so no adjustment possible and the drivers seat doesnt give as much room as they used to!

But hey ho, its free and its a Diesel, just hope i get the Fiesta back soon lol

I dont know what the engine size is in this, but its very very good and when the turbo kicks in it dont half go!

I love the tranist vans. Same engines I think possibly. The passenger seat in the old escort vans didnt move either IIRR but the connect one, the base lifts up and tilts forwards to create a desk. At least the royal mail ones do.

A proper Transit Connect, or a poor mans version? (D3)
