I Bought A 'DERANGED' Transit Custom from British Car Auctions!

[@satoshi1-21]

Wet belt change is a must, got a 19 plate and got it changed at 82k miles. If serviced correctly no issues but must be Castro oil and change every 10k.Good video mate

[@elwittinio2865]

Company I work for had about 10 customs off the road all with various issues. Mine had 99k and was scrapped, not the wet belt issue though. Got a 24 plate fiat, and its broke down 3 times 😂😂. Do love a custom, was deffo spoilt.

[@satoshi1-21]

@@elwittinio2865 I must be lucky as touch wood no issues but I'm pretty ocd about servicing and repairs plus its only myself that drives it.

[@elwittinio2865]

​@@satoshi1-21Best of luck mate, hope you get plenty of miles out of her 🤞👍

[@jasonwicks1755]

As a couple of others have said you will need to get that Wet belt changed . They are a nightmare on these vans. 6 years or 100,000 miles. Anyone knowing about the issues with them and interested in buying will 100% want that done.

[@michaelthompson6885]

You mechanics will love you Joe when they are changing the wet belts!

[@robw6505]

WOW! That van is cool, it is the sort of van you'd be proud to drive and it certainly would turn heads. At £15K it will sell and if I had the money I would have it. As the other comments say the 'wet belt' would be a problem and would need addressing for future buyers. But, lovely, lovely van.👍

[@patrickh7368]

I watched a High Peak Auto’s where he met up with Mike Brewer, his latest venture customisers vans like that, apparently a popular route at the mo. 🤔

[@SGSAutomotive]

A lot doing it though. It as lucrative as once was

[@devilmahon666]

Joe if it’s not been done you’re going to have to have the wet belt changed on that. Ford have reduced the interval to 100k rather than 150k as loads were snapping and wrecking the engine & Turbo. There’s a surprising lot of parts needed to do it as well. Your got your own workshop and mechanics but outsourced its about a £1150 job at trade rates

[@SJ-qs6iq]

If you are paying 1150 I would seriously have a word. I pay 750 complete genuine ford kit fitted!

[@leedstown]

Trade price is £750 to £800

[@devilmahon666]

To be fair, the Ford wet belt seem to go bang whenever they feel like it irrelevant of mileage 😂

THe van looks mean and aggressive!! IT stands out from the crowd! Love it!

[@hamradiomobile]

I have been looking for a van for ages that looks cool and has no historical issues and my problem has been finding a trust worthy dealer. I drove nearly 8 hours to pick one up, two videos from the sales guy he new where I was coming.from, reassured me it was perfect 1 owner high spec 25k miles . Arrived, gleaming sitting in the handover area and I was left to walk round, half hour and discovered 4 panels full of filler and a bad paint job with the side doors looking like a mackerel's back. Claims he didn't know but they knew. I reckon anyone would love this van, I would definitely consider it but for one thing and it's the wet belt system. I was actually really surprised you bought it, regardless of history I would get the belt done for reassurance for the new owner and for you because a new engine is not cheap. Great video and good luck with the sale.

[@DaveWestMedia]

Grear vans these, we finance hundred of them. Mega popular. You know what you're doing obviously, but as per other comments making sure the wet belt is changed and its been serviced properly is a must. These don't take kindly to neglect. Looks very smart, I'm sure that won't hang around for long.

[@TheFoolishboy9]

Nice van, I reckon the PDR and smart repair guys will be all over it, and what a cool camper van it would make.

[@ajw1467]

Nice van i bought a deranged ranger also a normal ranger at the same time couldnt fault apart from the over load from the insurance company i reckon you will sell easily but the over load on my company policy at the time was around 300 more per year for it being modied

[@sprograt]

If I was to buy that van I would want the wet belts replaced as a matter of course due to all the problems that come with these engines.

[@stivowen5710]

I wouldn’t buy anything with a wet belt. Aside from the latest change intervals you can never be 100% sure of the mileage.

[@jacklifeonwheels]

Wet. Belt a must 110%

[@billdornan4379]

To tidy up the wood edges on the panelling…I use brown shoe polish. Works well. Kindest regards 🇨🇦

[@ModernHeroes]

Feels like a good fit for your new found stock profile - it’d get lost on a forecourt full of other vans but should stand out really well among a load of Range Rovers etc!

[@Dee_J_T-n-B]

Nice van joe I bought a 67plate 9seater torneo with 14k on the clock for 20 grand and 4grand ish VAT on top. I love mine. Vans have come a long way deffo. It’s great on fuel also even pulling the caravan and kids. Think ya have priced that fair bud compared to what I paid. All about the mileage

[@MultiBuilder123]

Van prices on the way back down. I was going to buy a few months ago. The particular van i was looking at is still there minus 15% of the starting price.Lots are catching colds with the vans at mo

[@liamegan4303]

Hahaha Joe. My Dad's Van was the exact same way, clanking away between my legs, when I sat in the middle. So funny thinking back.. Great memories 👌 👏👏🇮🇪

[@ghost70]

looks nice but check for that ford wet belt system.

[@shae-fae355]

Omg love this! It's exactly what I'd choose to convert into a stealth campervan ❤

Love it! He does it in most videos and I could never put a name to the voice. Thank you :-) @joe thank you once again!

[@keithward233]

For reference, my mates 71 reg 5 seat lwb crew cab in metallic blue with a tailgate c/w spoiler front and rear , sidesteps and roof bars with 28k miles which is mint was offered about 22k plus vat about a month ago on motorway . It has had a brand new engine in the last couple of weeks since then 🤷

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

I think I bought it myself it would be for a mobile home type conversion. I know there are much bigger van types but the meanish look it has is very nice to buy as a project, and that’s disregarding the price, if I were fitter I’d consider it.

[@paddydunne774]

Damn good job Joe promoting all aspects of your self the business and what you are selling. I like the Transit van use one for a trip to Poland every couple of months, put some miles on them. Keep on top the servicing and get the belt down, hope it sells well for you. Fascinating looking into your trade, from BM perspective 👌👊

[@tonylawlor3503]

Transit can be a bag of mischief could be good or a Dagenham Dusbin worth a poke 😅😊

[@chiefrocka8604]

Transits were made in Southampton from new til around 12 years ago . The first Turkish transits were ok but had runs or panels not fitted right and daft things but you saw them improve over time No Dagenham

I bought a flat bottom steering wheel off eBay. Think it was off a kuga or something. Nice red stitching. Just needed to change the buttons.the face pops off and easy to change. Cost me £80 for the steering wheel and it was like brand new.

Do the wet belt and check the gauze on the oil output for crud.....otherwise wave goodbye to the margin.

They make tiny little RVs in Japan, they would be prefect for the UK market. They even have the steering wheel on the wrong side. Some people are importing them to the USA.
