jimmys shop 182 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 jigsaw type in COMISKEYCARS ,they are based in keady armagh ,that will give you a fair idea what transits are fetching up north .think the 05 for 5000 euros was a decent price you were getting .

Guest oldskool Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 my dad drives a ford tranny for dittys home bakery and its now up for sale... i dont know if i'll go for it or not because it took alot of effort to get through the last psv... mechanically very good but ford do tend to rust an awful lot.. once every 6 months its best to spray waste oil underneath to keeps sills etc right on them... if i get a year out of it hassle free i would be happy enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
