I got lucky  I think you posted on the same ford forum I post on. 

I think you said you was expecting 1st march. Couldn't add any options or something ?

[Twc services]

You had me for a minute !! Yeah that's right I need to add LED in rear as this van was from dealer stock. I was lucky to get one with a tailgate. 22 weeks for factory order !!!

Hmmm I have seen the ones they suggest I don't rate em.

I went over kill on mine. But they are perfect.

Cost me a few quid mind lol.

Will show you what I have done.

Best mod is LED headlights and HID upgrade!!

I've got the 1l focus with 125ps and its fab and goes very well so I went to buy new connect they only do 100ps model but good rating on power (can't remember what it was) anyway when he showed me all models and torque settings it clearly showed mid range torque levels were clearly not up to 1.6 diesel range so I opted for the diesel curated 95ps

small engines never last as long as big.   its always been the case   probably more so now the titchy engines have turbo plus gubbins

Starting to switch towards the new Vivaro 120BH van as opposed to the Transit Custom 125 as finding a few better deals out there.

Only concern is the 1.6lt engine, although I see in the specs the Torque and BH is fine.  I know new technology in engines can see smaller engines with more power.  You only have to be an F1 fan to to see this happen 

However on speaking to Ford, they tell me the Vivaro will not perform when loaded with a 1.6lt engine.  Are they spinning me line?

From my experience downsizing with new turbo technology in the latest engines across various manufacturers has been pretty good.  When you drive one you realise that it's just as powerful as the bigger engines they are set to replace if not more powerful.  They also pull a lot lower down the rev range.  I've not driven one of the Vivaro engines yet though.  How they are after 100 000 miles is another matter, but by the looks of it your considering brand new so that will probably be someone else problem.  One of the benefits of a smaller engine is increased payload.

Regards the Ford sales person, he's just trying to make a sale, you wait until Ford put small engines in their Transits.

They also do a BiTurbo version if you are worried about power.

What kind of warranty are Ford and Vauxhall giving - does it match Hyundai for example?

[Clever Forum Name]

Ford depenends on how you pay for for van. Either 3/4/5 years. Standard is 3

Vauxhall is 4 I think.

Really?
Does 400cc really make that much difference?
What's that in weight?
How much would the extra turbo weigh too?

I'm a bit of a size queen.  I don't trust the little engines. I've only got the 2.0 van but would love the 3.2 Merc

I think it 30-40kgs from what I saw from the previous 2.0 version. Ok maybe no big deal but I'd still more than welcome it on a weigh bridge. I'm pretty sure most modern diesel vans will have a turbo so the added plumbing is not really extra weight.  The ford TDCi engine is turbo hence the T in TDCi.

I'd be tempted to go back to the Ford dealer & give him the deal you can get on the Vauxhall. Match that & you have a sale, if you can't then I'm off to VX.
