I own a 1996 Transporter with the 5 pot TDI engine and still used daily, just starting to show signs of rust now I will miss it when it dies.Best done at speed...
This ain't my first rodeo.
Not my first T4 either.

Wow is that a standard vehicle or has it had an engine upgrade, sounds like my sort of van, apart from the rusting in a bog part.My current one (the red one) has a 2.5 V5 petrol, LPG converted. 120k miles iirc and still going strong. Sadly before I got it, it had been stood in a bog up to its axles.
My friendly mot guy got busted.

those v5’s suffer with cam chains if memory serves correct they sound great with such an unusual engine note
You would think they would improve! Clearly built on a budgeti have the 1.6 transit connect 2016, ive had it from new and has just clocked 42,000miles.
only problems to date is rust (suprise suprise) starting on the back doors which was rectified by ford and a piece of rubber trim that came away on the passenger side that also was replaced under warrenty.
oh yeah and the rear badge was replaced due to it going crusty.
yup same budget theyve allways had "make em rust or theyd last forever"You would think they would improve! Clearly built on a budget
I’d like the MAN, my pal has two from brand new. His were £40k each mind with all the additions VW offer but he’s had no problems with themI got a craving for a mwb low roof new shape crafter or man tga for a camper conversion build.
Seem to be the van of choice at the moment from the guys I've been talking to. Getting more and more like the transporters just slightly bigger but without the scene tax.
1200 degree furnuss and burn/clean it outFlippin' dpf lights come on on my T5 today only just sorted the egr. Poxy emission crap......
