[scottish lurcher 185]

My young lads thinking of buy a second hand tipper as it was always transit I have had I can't advise him . so looking for advise he has been looking at transit mk7 115bhp transit crewcab tipper but for the same money he can get a newer inveco daily crewcab tipper anybody know anything about them belive they have fiat or ford engines ,

I've always preferred the transit I had a 90 bhp one never let me downandi worked it hard hadit for 3 years never had a problem

[scottish lurcher 185]

Yeah all my transits was good once sat in daily wasn't as comfy but know nothing more about them . But he got told they are bullet proof for heavy work .

I run a transit crewcab tipper 7 seater 13reg had a few probs with egr valve, drives well, comfy & takes the lads up& down motorway BUT the Iveco is meant to be a lot stronger& robust bit more thirsty as well reckon either one is good enough for building game

Which engine is best iveco ?

[mad4it 695]

at work all the iveco keep breakdown so they keep getting hiring transits, I think the transits are more comfable

I always thought iveco was ford, just made in Spain? And in truth modern motors are as shite as each other because they share things like cheap tacky fuel pumps that will fail regardless of the badge on the bonnet, so I,d be looking for the lowest miles and most well maintained, sadly the days of transits doing 300,000 miles are becoming a distant memory,

your right mate, today's Diesel engines are total rubbish compared to the engines of even the 90s, too much goes wrong and a fecking fortune to fix.

To much electronic stuff on them nowadays.

A mate of mine is a auto electrician and he says there is more stuff on them to make stop than there is to make them go.

This is another reason I have just stuck a new engine in my 96 banana transit, as there is nothing on the road that will live with it, they may overtake me but nothing out there will out last me,,I am upto about 260,000 on the clock and with the engine change should be good for another quarter million miles, I have a mig welder to patch up the rust spots so there is know reason for it not to last me until I don't need a truck in my life anymore, i know another guy that has just sold off his nearly new van for work, bought a smiley face transit and had a nut and bolt restoration done on it for the same reason, he says it will be the last van he will ever own

I know it's mental, my landrover still has a starting handle, once the glow plugs are warm the electrics cease to matter, I can start it with the handle and as long as the airfilter is above the water level it will keep running completely submerged, I have sat waste deep in water in the drivers seat driving through floods and don't even consider it stopping, gives me a ton of smug pleasure pushing a big wave over all the x5 beamers, Q Audi,s and jeep grand Cherokees when they are waterlogged on the side of the road, they still think 4x4 equals go anywhere but that's only as long as it's dry,

1975 series 3,109, 41 years old and usually gets used once or twice a year when I have to get the kids to work in the snow, it's tax and mot exempt and costs around £150 a year insurance, so not really a great expense to have sitting around,
