My private hell has begun!
« on: January 15, 2008, 21:00:10 »
The fiesta went in tonight to have some warranty work done on it tomorrow.  Seeing as how i wouldnt have their normal courtesy car, a Ford Ka, they gave me the only other alternative.................................. a Ford Transit Connect!!

I must admit though that the engine in it is spot on, but for some reason the passenger seat is fixed solid so no adjustment possible and the drivers seat doesnt give as much room as they used to!

But hey ho, its free and its a Diesel, just hope i get the Fiesta back soon lol

I love the tranist vans. Same engines I think possibly. The passenger seat in the old escort vans didnt move either IIRR but the connect one, the base lifts up and tilts forwards to create a desk. At least the royal mail ones do.

In a choice between a Ford KA and a Transit - Transit wins everytime :) Though I am currently biased as along with the 110 Ive got a Merc Sprinter on loan for moving house :) just a shame its not a Vito :( Hey ho cant have everything........
