AD...I think the post reflecting my own personal experience answers that statement.....though I can only speak as far as Ford is concerned. Ford main agents can be found throughout west and eastern europe quite easily. In particular Transits, like here in the UK, are 'common as muck' with easy access to off the shelf parts.
btw; I use the term 'tin basher' with respect. It's what we call our sheet metal worker on the factory where I work.
The guy is a skilled man and what he can turn out is clear for all to see.
Hi BG
I also respect this guy for what he can do.
Those with the ability to do this are a dying breed.I thought you were jesting when you said it.
There's pros and cons to everything.
My vehicle would not be mechanically stressed travelling hours on end whereas a smaller motor might be.
It depends on "sods law" where the breakdown of a part will occur.oh:
I can understand where this thread came from but it all depends , at the end of the day, on how well the vehicle has been looked after and hence the owner.
I am very familiar with all aspects of my Van now and am aware of any possible problem areas before they arise.So...get on in there and take a good look prior to and trans european tours would seem good advice.
