Nevillec 11 Posted April 28, 2020 Hi everyone. Have been reading the forum for a while now and found it very informative in these crazy times. I am mainly a van dealer, but also do a few cars. Obviously van sales have taken a big hit the same as cars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New year revolutions...... 197 Posted April 28, 2020 Hello good afternoon and welcome Do you know van diesel seeing as you know van sales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevillec 11 Posted April 28, 2020 I used to do quite bit with ex BT vans, but the prices just got ridiculous, and I'm not a fan of Vauxhaul Vivaro / Renault trafic, which most BT vans were. I Do mainly mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit, although like everyone I buy most things if there is a sensible profit in it. I try and avoid French stuff though yes he's a mate of mine. lol 6 minutes ago, New year revolutions...... said: Hello good afternoon and welcome Do you know van diesel seeing as you know van sales yes he is a mate of mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkTVS 209 Posted April 28, 2020 I can’t believe how much oil and ad blue the new transit customs take! Makes servicing them really expensive! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contracts 68 Posted April 28, 2020 Have had problems with Ecoblue engine service lights coming on early due to oil dilution issues but Ford have covered these under warranty. From memory the wet services are a maximum of 24 months / 36k but most seem to ping the warning late 20’s. Excluding the DPF issues the 2.2 was so much better.
