83C Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Ok, it really is for sale this time! The basics: 2002 T280 SWB Transit, metallic blue, 226k, one-piece rear door. Gearbox Occasionally pops out of 1st/3rd if not held in, may well be a cable adjustment issue. Rear door a bit tatty. MoT until April 2017, needs a small patch welding at the end of the sill where it meets the arch on the Nearside, and a patch under the driver's side step. Had a new o/s driveshaft and wheel bearing a couple of months ago. Two nearly new tyres on the front, rears good. Small crack in lower windscreen, not an MoT fail. Better pics to follow. SOLD Available from 2nd of April (it's being used for a mate to move house the day before). Located in Devon, can deliver for cost of fuel.

rantingYoof Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 That Mondeo is a proper bargain. If you can get a few thousand miles out of it in those six months at 45mpg you'll be lel'ing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 47mpg if mines to be believed. That's in sub zero starts for work. The jumping out of gear is common on the Transits when they get some serious miles on them. I drove a 280,000 mile one last year and it did it. It was still putting on 20,000 a year, you just lived with it. AndyW201 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yep, 45mpg was what I got out of the two TDCi's I had. 60+ mpg is achievable on a long run (70mph, cruise control on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 140 TDCi mk4 is averaging 59mpg at present, after a run to Crewe and back. 7ish years old and 180k.My previous 130 TDCi used to also return amazing MPG @ circa 145k, and I'm not one for sitting behind HGV's etc in the slow lane. rantingYoof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My mistake was doing sub 10 mile each way commutes in it for 18 months...It got clogged and the turbo grenaded. Sold it for 700 quid with fault. I loved that car. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Fancy taking a clio in a part ex against the transit?It's not a Clio II facelift is it? If so, I may be interested in it if it's reasonably priced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Sounds like a three way deal might be in the offing! Quite happy to look into it, drop me a PM with what you think the Clio is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Both still for sale, pictures of the Mondeo added. Massive price drop from £550 to £350 on the Mond as I need it gone very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks a bargain at £350 that Mondeo. Easy worth double that. It's probably worth more than what you are asking in parts. 83C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 With the minor bits done I'd agree. I just don't have the time or inclination to do it, plus I'm happy bimbling around in the Xantia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83C Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Fraid not, I'm trying not to expand the commercial vehicle section anymore! Just had a local come and view the Mond, he offered £350 (it's up for £450 to non-AS'ers), I accepted and he then said 'OK I'll think about it...." FFS. Of course, last night there was this tempting* offer: DeeJay and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 What do people want for £350? Seriously. A running working car with test on for equivalent of the monthly rent on its new equivalent. The trouble is at £350 bizarrely people seem to expect more than if they were paying £750. I don't know why... stephen01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
