Transit Custom

[tolly]

Anyone got one of these? Interested in getting one, they've been out for a while now, anyone heard any horror stories about them?

 

[Dotty]

I have. Had it since 22nd September. Put 1,500 miles on it last week, we bonded.

It's an incredibly comfortable drive. I've had no problems. I'm not a gear head so I can't tell you much more than that.

A builder I know has had one a few months, he's as happy as larry with it.

Think it will take time for any issues to become clear.

 

[Toxic Ted]

Issues with fuel filler and bluetooth so google transit custom problems.

 

[tolly]

I know about the fuel filler problem and the mic problem if you mean that? Think they sorted the fuel filler problem though

 

[Dotty]

No problems with the fuel filler. The Mic is poor now I think of it, there's no way to adjust the Mic volume unfortunately.

Once paired i don't think you can unpair on the transit, i think its a dealer reset or something.

Mine isn't at the minute. I washed her a week ago on Sunday and now she's got 2,000 miles worth of road grime on her. Couldn't be arsed to wash her this weekend.....

For a second I thought ye said 1 in Watford then 1 in Limerick. Now that would b a spin!!

 

[PlumbersMate]

Have had mine 2 months, and I love it almost as much as I love my kids. Lovely to drive only downside is I never want to get out and do any work

 

[tolly]

Thanks everyone, I think I might end up getting one in the next few weeks hopefully.

Actually saw a M reg one today all hand painted Grey, probably to hide the rust n welds.

Bet you £50k it weren't a custom

 

[tolly]

lol, I wonder if ford have learnt from their mistakes, the older transits including the mk7's rusted terribly compared to vivaros and a few others excluding the vitos. Im sure only time will tell if the customs have been galvanised.

Dodgy bet that, they did one in a mark2 transit. Custom was the trim level.

Well the Custom badge was easy to see against the battleship Grey background but then not every 3 series BMW is a M3`s are they?

Are they good on fuel ?

 

[Toxic Ted]

Are they good on fuel ?

Very good apparently....

 

[PlumbersMate]

I think I get around 500 miles for £90, and that's the opposite to motorway driving, all towns and london mostly

 

[Leo21]

Very tempting those customs.

 

[Toxic Ted]

Quite fancy one meself...

We have about 150 of the new custom on the road at the moment with my company Early issues were chafing wiring to airbag causing fire. 1 went up I believe in the uk and burnt out, That was resolved by a recall of early affected models. Bonnet catches failing stopping you opening the bonnet with the key. We had a few do this, then the fuel filler thing but other than that they are meant to be a really good van to drive.

My 11 plate transit get changed for a new custom in Feb so can't wait as mine is rusting all over the place, the fit of the old transit is terrible. My drivers door hits the wing when open and has worn all the paint off and rusted, inside the side door runner has rusted badly as well. When I had a look over the custom the finish is far better. More like a car

If your tall theres not much space in the front.
They are more refined than old outgoing model.
My mate has just got the 2.2 stop start
He says economy is on par with his old 2.0 so no real improvement there according to him with his typical day.

I prefer my dispatch.

You know there french right?

 

[newcastle phill]

Lol.
I dont care where it comes from so long as its reliable [emoji12]

 

[PlumbersMate]

What's the fuel filler fault?

That's pretty crap, especially with the stop start. What sort of mpg figures is he getting then?

 

[newcastle phill]

Well he does about 8 to 10 service calls a day within maybe 40 mile total.

On that basis he says he hasnt noticed any discernible difference.
