WHY DID I BUY ANOTHER TRANSIT SPEC LIFT? 🤦‍♂️. NEEDS TLC!

[@loumean1]

I noticed my car missing!! Looks good on the back of (insert name here)!! I think it should be called Charlie

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks for the lend!

[@meytreillac]

I love the Lego truck. What a piece of art! Great Spec Lift. Can't wait to see it in action. I think you should call it Brains.. like Brains in Thunderbirds... he wore big square specs.

[@Fighting_Torque]

I see what you did there! Not a bad shout!

[@matharvey87]

Nice one mate love the lego Ronnie now your need another one of the new spec

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah totally!

[@nickhill3362]

Hi Ihad a transit tipper same model worked it very hard for years very reliable good truck 👍only proplem i had was a fuel pump

[@Fighting_Torque]

Good to know, thanks mate

[@spike24-12]

Nice bit of kit that mate should make it so you can put a bike on the back. Hope your taking the day off tomorrow you defo earned it either way have a good bank holiday

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers mate. Spent today at Cadwell for the Brithish Super Bike qualifying, that was my day off. Back on call now until further notice!

[@renorti1]

Handy little truck, probably use that quite a bit

[@Fighting_Torque]

I hope so mate, especially if I get some dolly's for 4wd vehicles I could technically do everything with it

[@leemelville3851]

Defo a great space for bike recovery that

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah but how do I get them on? I'm open to suggestions?

[@mrpete1972]

Like others have said in the comments, definitely adapt it for motorcycle recovery.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Will deffo plan something

[@markgladwell2844]

little reggie and big ronnie love it the back looks very strange havnt nolt there defo needs something to fill the space

[@Fighting_Torque]

It does look strange but it's also very light with no weight on axle which means we can lift more 💪

[@thecarman3902]

Nice addition to the fleet 👍👍, Think it should be called Nipper ( Leonard " Nipper " read ) as you bought it to nip about a bit quicker

[@Fighting_Torque]

Oooohhh I like Nipper!

[@old_con]

How about Willy, you could then ask people if they have seen your Willy ? 😂 Great vids as always, keep em up !

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha ha I'd get arrested!

[@allantaylor3064]

Brilliant bit of kit mate, that lego truck is cool, as your work fleet all start with r I'd go for Rodney 👍🏻

Love it, as you said with a few storage boxes its a winner..

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah, I have a few plans, it'll be a decent workhorse I reckon.

[@lordIanHouston]

@@Fighting_Torque Takes me back to the days when I was an AA patrol man, I drove a spec around for six years, very handy bits of kit.

[@Mick-sl3nv]

Nice truck Ben, make sure you video the transformation and fitting the beacons etc for us all mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Fighting_Torque]

Hi mate, thanks. I've already swapped the beacon over but the new pump is coming tomorrow so I will film that 👍

[@Mick-sl3nv]

Top man

[@jonbell2305]

My old transit was a great little tool. Gutted I sold it tbh. Only thing I found was the front lifted even though I had a massive weight put under the front cross member. But it easily picked up long sprinters. Struggled a bit on hills but on everything else it loved working. Great on diesel and it had air conditioning lol. Only transit I ever see have factory fit air con on a 2006 last of the shape you have. I think mine was a bread delivery van twin wheel monster. Great video 👍 I called mine Mater from cars. My kids loved cars film. My mate has a replica of Mater. I'll get a picture next time I'm over his way. 👍👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Nice one mate, good to hear they're reliable.

[@jonbell2305]

@@Fighting_Torque bullet proof As long as you are onto of fluids and filters they last for ever. I strongly recommend that Red X for diesels now and again. And that JLM deep clean stuff. Bloody amazing stuff I use the JLM every 6 months does valves turbo and egr etc and exhaust. My old Atego gets around 20mpg loaded. After I put that JLM cleaner in it. Be good 👍

[@_Cads]

Smart looking truck that mate. Hope it serves you well.

[@Fighting_Torque]

She'll be grand mate, thanks for the comment pal

[@markspreadbury104]

Nice one mate. Will look ace once done. Charlie would make sense as the name but jack as in jack the hat would be cool.

[@Fighting_Torque]

I think Charlie is winning!

[@geraldcarpenter6222]

Good luck mate hope it go’s well for you

[@Fighting_Torque]

Thanks mate, spent a week working on it now ad I think it'll be a decent workhorse

[@RWL2012]

Yes it's a Mk6 Transit. The early ones on the old reg system (W, X and Y reg) are quite rare now. And while it's not a 4Matic, it's definitely a Turbo, as the Mk6 was the first Transit to have a turbocharger fitted to all Diesel engines.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Nice one mate, cheers for the info. It really is immaculate, pretty chuffed with it

[@RWL2012]

:)

[@SuperMinimadness]

If that was mine I would put a crane by the cab to lift broken down motorbikes onto the dead space between the cab and the spec lift just a thought looks good though

[@Fighting_Torque]

That's not a bad idea that mate!

[@darrengreen2697]

The transit looks a great bit of kit. If you leave some room on the back, get a ramp and then you could recover bikes as well. Charlie is a good name.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah loads of people have said the same mate, need to think about making it a bike recovery truck too

[@emilypulman7046]

Awsome buddy nice truck maybe Reggie lol specs are so cool love our ugly Betty she a real asset. You will never look back . Cool Lego to .all the best Mark and Emily

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers guys, yeah i'm happy with it, done a fair bit to it in the week i've owned it, not ready to do a job yet but should be by Tuesday so hopefully get some content with it soon.

[@EnglishCharlie]

Love this model of Transit! Had a read of the comments and guess what! I think it should be called Charlie too!

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah makes sense doesn't it 😂

[@8motorhead8]

Nice mate well in looks clean for a transit

[@Fighting_Torque]

Not a patch of rust which as you know is rare for a Transit! It'll be working by Tuesday so content will follow soon.

[@ruabonite]

Lovely addition to the fleet! How about Rudy for the new name?!

[@Fighting_Torque]

Charlie or Nipper seems to be winning!

[@gavmorley]

Lovely looking mk6,i reckon terry the transit

[@Fighting_Torque]

Not a bad shout that mate

[@zerocool278]

Sweet whip bud, Maybe get a boom winch set on it? Like the 'Merica repo set ups?

[@Fighting_Torque]

Yeah know what you mean. But the winch on Ronnie is just bonkers, I've pulled things out if the depths of hell with my mouth wide open wondering how. Not sure I need a top boom tbh

[@zerocool278]

@SleafordRecovery Ronnie is a beast to be fair and some of those ditches around the a17 roads are murderous just like the road itself with some mad angles to recover from. I agree with the rest of the comments that it should he should be called Charlie and could be used for motorbikes just depends on how many bike jobs you get or turn down I guess.

[@BRED510]

Looks clean for a 22 year old Transit! What happened to your other van?

[@Fighting_Torque]

Still got everything my man. I don't sell anything it turns out ha ha

[@thatcrazyguyjay]

awesome buddy always love the content keep it coming buddy and defo do what others have said in the comments buddy :)

Just got to watch the injecter pumps on them as there common for failing but other than that there great (oh and the rust habbit ) but that's just transit life😂 well done mate keep up the good work and love the videos 👍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Cheers for the support pal, very much appreciated

[@Gez008]

You could do some motorcycle recovery with the wasted space 🏍

[@Fighting_Torque]

Great idea, just need to work out how to safely put them on and off 🤔

[@cbeadle2508]

Sticking with the Kray theme… Frances (the Ford)

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ooh I forgot about Frances 🤙

[@twist_of_the_wrist]

Transit looks class. When's the GDB green paint coming out? I think it should be called Violet if your keeping it at home. And mount one of them red and yellow kids car on the back. 😂

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha Greg does his thing and I do mine. Although my motorbike has GDB colours ha ha.

Fork handles!

Cool Lego. Could you make it suitable for picking up motorbikes as well or are they ok on the spec? Looks nice and clean.

[@Fighting_Torque]

Do you know what, a few people have said that back space would be great for motorbikes, but it is quite a height to be using a ramp. I'm not sure yet, have to see what I come up with!

[@crinklee]

@@Fighting_Torque could you get something the goes in the middle of the spec, between where car wheels go to lift a bike to bed level, just push on from there.

[@BenLloyd-y8p]

Nice bit of kit Ben, put a V8 in it 🙂

[@Fighting_Torque]

Ha ha one V8 is enough mate!

[@86karl]

Call it ronaldo for its efficiency and speed ? What a peace of kit to add , of you get a single ramp maybe convert the back for motorcycle s you'll still have room for lockable boxes

[@Fighting_Torque]

I think that's a great idea mate and lots of people have mentioned using it for bikes. I need to work out a way to safely get them on and off though
