Timewaster Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I remember a ripple of excitement at our old work when we heard we were getting one of those new connects. Mind you, our fiesta courier was fubar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRi05 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 What an absolute bargain Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Great value for money that, pretty sure without a test it'll do not far off that price anyway, so a 'no brainer' of a buy. Obvs. like the best thing about these vans are the fact they replaced the Escort, truly one of the most miserable/hateful piles of shit to ever (dis)grace the roads. somewhatfoolish, Fat_Pirate, BorniteIdentity and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 A mate had one of those as his daily driver. Very occasionally needed to move stuff but actually just liked the running costs, who-gives-a-shit looks and the £20 in his pocket every time someone said "any chance you could...."

Wingz123 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 More details on "a bit temperamental"? Because that looks like a bargain...Yes of course - so the van locks however takes major jiggling about to get the van to unlock again. This maybe down to that common trait of a worn key as ford keys do have a tendancy to wear and this key is quite worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ten quid eBay remote locking kit will sort that assuming the ignition lock works OK. I put one on a a Golf and it was ace. Wingz123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I remember a ripple of excitement at our old work when we heard we were getting one of those new connects. I remember a customer of ours turning up in his shiny new Connect in 2002 or so, and proudly showing it off to the lads working there. He wasn't quite so happy when we came to load it, and he realised that the tailgate option made it rather difficult to load with a forklift!

Asimo Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I love my Connect, one of the best motors I've bought. 5 years on and I'm still smiling about it. (It is petrol engined however) Burnside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnside Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 As Cavcraft said this is a total bargain when you can pay around that for a spares and repair job. The low mileage for its age is a real bonus too. My Dad owns a 06 Connect T220. It has plenty of torque even when loaded up and will sit on a outside lane bothering Audi's no problem! They handle well when pushed and reckons his has the best breaks of any Van he had. I'm sure if you kept it till Mot time and it gets through ok you could easily sell it on for £800+ see Gumtree etc, so free motoring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marm Toastsmith Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yeah, love these...very tempted...but I think I'll let someone else have this mega bargain and wait for a petrol one or a crewvan/tourneo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23rdian Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'm guessing this doesn't have sliding door on the side? Or do they all have at least one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'm guessing this doesn't have sliding door on the side? Or do they all have at least one?I think that might have been a longer wheelbase version??
