    Hi Edd , i am soo happy for you getting this job with what car-van, You see your fans/viewers have come to trust you and your no bullshit Character, If you say something is good then it;s good. Even when you were reviewing the Transit you did mention the lack of pockets for pens etc and pointed out that if you were to leave them out in the open [top of dash pockets] everyone could see them, not trying to cause any friction but if that was brewer he would most likely have glossed over that trying to earn brown [nose] points with the Manufactures but not you, STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF AND YOUR FANS Edd your going FAR best wishes SCOOBS Wales.

    I have been trying to have one of these (a 2021 year model), delivered to me in Australia having put the deposit down in April. The delivery date was going to be August then it was going to be Oct now it is February next year 2022. I have decided to opt for something else. Something that is already here in the country...... an LDV deliver 9 LWB high roof in pacific blue, for about $15,000 less than the equivalent Transit.

    where is the speed sensor located on the 6sp RWD transmission on Ford Transit LWB 2012 T155 2.2L?
    Van goes into limp mode at 40mph with TCS dash light flashing. Diagnosed as wiring/faulty VSS, because (when goes into limp mode) all 4 wheel speed sensors report speed but VSS reports no data (0 mph).

    The only problem Ed is you will at some stage of ownership come into contact with Ford after sales customer services which are without doubt the worst I have ever had the misfortune to encounter, I would avoid them at the moment until they sort this out. PS always a good idea to store an hammer directly above your head wouldn't you say. also get rid of the locking wheel nuts if you buy one they really are shit and will cause you no end of trouble, you don't look very comfortable in that Ed by the way.

    • @petelattimer6808
      @petelattimer6808 4 года назад

      crew cab is a pre built vehicle with rear body on. chassis cab you buy the cab and chassis (in whatever size/cab type you choose) and add a body aftermarket. ideal for camper vans, horse boxes, recovery trucks (subject to weight limits) etc.
