2003, 03 plate Ford Transit Connect van, Silver with black trim - T230 (long wheel base, high top). 1.8 litre 90PS diesel engine.
Semi-camper conversion, ideal for MTB events.
Raised bench with room for 2 bikes, currently setup for 1 bike with 15mm QR with a custom mount and 1 bike with QR. Room for loads of kit, bikes and still be able to sleep in the back.
110Ah leisure battery with split charge, 3x12v sockets in the rear cab with 1 setup for use out of the back doors (ie. Mobi washer or similar). 240v inverter fitted. Twin LED spotlights give more than enough light inside. Basic LED voltmeter also fitted to give idea of battery condition. Fully insulated, ply-lined and carpeted. Also rear parking sensors fitted.
It has the folding bulkhead, so the front passenger seat folds down and bulkhead folds sideways to give a long flat space (big enough to fit a 8x4' board in the back with the doors shut).
163,000 miles. I spent a month in France and Italy in July and it drove perfectly covering 2500 miles.
3 months tax
MOT until May
Cambelt changed in June. Rear brake shoes replaced in August. All fluids/filters, inc gearbox changed in May/June.
2 brand new rear tyres (front tyres have lots of tread left)
Minor points:
Gearbox crunches going into first when moving. Not a major issue, even on steep alpine roads.
Brake pedal lets off a high pitched squeal occasionally. Not everyone can hear it (depends on age I guess) and it can be stopped easily, so I never bothered looking into it.
Side door sometimes temperamental locking with central locking. Locks from the inside fine.
Location: Mid Wales.
