These vans were built in Southampton the same city where I lived. I only live 10 mins from where they were built. My father drove them in 2006 or 2007 from the factory to the docks. He said that its the mazda mx5 of vans. He said the VW transporter is for style like mercades slk but the transit is fun to drive like a mx5.
A must upgrade for a MK 6 or 7 Transit is replace the Tibbe door barrel for the Hykee security barrel. Other wise anyone with a Tibbe pick will be straight in.
Hi Lauren, yeah no problem it’s actually a kit all cut out specially for the dash which I bought online! Comes in lots of different sections, Just have to line it all up yourself and stick it on! It’s not perfect il be honest but it’s pretty good fit I think! If you want drop me a message on Instagram and il try find a link to it for you 👍🏻
Hey man, thanks for watching! It’s a bought set from ebay, it’s like a resin sticker! I did a video on it on my channel a while back th-cam.com/video/1z_CP0wPQA8/w-d-xo.html
@@coswecan no mate theres not many campers. Mines performance blue, pop top, r&r bed, custom units, swivel double seat, night heater etc. Look forward to seeing how yours comes along! I do want some gunmetal grey motorsport alloys tho, they look wicked
Prefer to see an old genuine ford filter than a new after market item that is more than likely not even the correct micron filter, what else have they cheap’d out on if this is the case 🤷🏻♂️ all 140bhp vans have the electronic actuator not just the sports, always watch out for an immaculate engine bay too as these are prone to massive oil leaks 👌🏻
Hi I’ve done a check online and the seller only bought it this month and already selling as it’s too good for a work van? It’s had 9 owners! Should I be suspicious as he is willing to pay for shipping. Thanks I’m advance.
Hello mate, I'm looking at getting one, everything is saying yes but would like to know what they're like on fuel, how many miles to a tank, mpg, how much to fill? If you could let me know that would be great! Thank you!
Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻 dont often fill it up if I’m honest but £40 of vpower gets me about 300 miles roughly, getting about 35mpg. To fill it should be roughly £80-90 of vpower. Considering its about as aerodynamic as a brick I don’t think it’s too bad 🤷🏻♂️ hope this helps with your van search 💪🏻
Thanks for the reply bud! That does sound pretty good if I'm honest, I've currently got a ford transit connect 05 plate and £60 to fill but would be lucky to get 400 miles to a tank so £40 and get 300 miles to a tank is pretty good! I think that's made my mind up really! Thank you!
Keep in mind I drive about like it’s a Sunday everyday 😂 most of the time 😜 do a bit more research I’m sure Google will give you some exact figures on fuel tank size and mpg etc 💪🏻
Hi mate. I've been offered one of these by a friend for £2k. Bit of rust on one sill and a lower arm is knocking ( no big deal) It has had a new engine and turbo put in 10000 miles ago that is still under warranty. Do you think I should have his hand off??
Hello pal, Well if it’s £2k it probs not a genuine sport more than likely a rep (which doesn’t matter if you aren’t fussed about the “title”) it’s up to you at the end of the day mate, just check for rust and rot and do all the usual checks, theres always a risk when you buy something second hand, it could last a lifetime it could all go wrong next week 🤷🏻♂️🤪 good luck and merry Christmas 🎅🏼💪🏻
Thanks for watching mate appreciate it! 👍🏻 My seats in the back have a custom wood surround that’s been carpeted (here’s a link to a video which might show you better - th-cam.com/video/aEyqE203Qfo/w-d-xo.html ). As far as I’m aware the sports don’t come as a crew van at all, you have to convert it yourself, which many people do! Hope this helps man and good luck with your search! 😁💪🏻
Hey Nathan Just discovered your channel, great vid. Out of curiosity, what would you say is the going rate for a mk7 Transit Sport at the mo'? Been on the hunt for one, they seem rare as hens teeth, with some dealers selling immaculate late examples for >£10k, and some scabby looking eBay jobs going for
CAElite Hey mate! (My names Nathan by the way 😜) Thanks for watching! They are getting harder to find! They range from anywhere between 5k-12k id say! Usually the later models tend to be more money for some reason, doesn’t matter in my opinion what year it is! Usually the ones below 5k tend to be “replicas” I find. Best bet is going to be on the Internet id say for that price, check your ebays and gumtrees etc they usually pop up now and again for decent money! Dealers will be wanting top dollar for them! I don’t know if any round my area, I wouldn’t encourage people to buy a certain vehicle even if I did as it’s got to be your choice at the end of the day and there’s always risk involved with second hand vehicles! 👍🏻 Good look shopping, hopefully you find the right one! 💯
@@coswecan cheers for the reply, a swear you said Dave at like 2:40, just my crappy phone speakers :D. Aye Ill keep looking, all I'm avoiding is the old 5spd 130hp ones as I've heard they can be problematic. Been watching some of your other vids, can't wait to see how your dad's turns out as I'm wanting to do a similar build with the pop top & a wee camper interior.
CAElite Haha dont worry about it! If you look online there’s problems with everything these days, but I do prefer the 6 speed! The early 2008 ones (like mine) as well don’t have DPFs fitted due to the regulation change in late 08 early 09, just thought I’d mention that! New video of the camper conversion should be going up tonight at around 6pm! Lots more videos to come 👍🏻
Euro 4 euro 5 different turbo . Both have actuators on the turbo. One mechanical and one electronic. Rear exhaust it total crap and not worth bothering with. Alloys are junk aswell. Minimum load rating. They might aswell been made out of lead their that soft. Aftermarket alloys far superior for strength.
Coastal Rider Will do mate don’t worry, pointless going all in on cleaning where we live at this time of year as it lasts about an hour max haha! 🤦🏻♂️😂
Great video just subscibed. Looking to buy one. dissapointed your not an expert. (TOUGE IN CHEEK) Good advice from an owner. have you done a video on your security measures and what is available
Thanks man appreciate it 💪🏻 haha everyone is an “expert” these days! I haven’t done a video on that yet, but it’s something I should definitely do and give my 2 cents worth 👌🏻 hope you find the right van for you 👍🏻 thanks for watching 🔥

Oh damn that’s cool man!! 😎
@16:45 gray transit !! would that be genuine transit sports that drove past in the background ??? ,bloody fluke if it was 😁
It could well be well spotted and thanks for watching! 💪🏻😂
Hello what stereo unit is that does it have CarPlay
A must upgrade for a MK 6 or 7 Transit is replace the Tibbe door barrel for the Hykee security barrel. Other wise anyone with a Tibbe pick will be straight in.
Thanks for the comment mate! Always a good idea to upgrade any security on these, spot on! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hello just wondering please could you tell me how you put the sticker carbon fiber on your dash it looks very precise 🤨

Thanks very much
Question for you mate how did you do all the radio facia carbon did you wrap it yourself or did you buy a set already cut ??
Hey man, thanks for watching! It’s a bought set from ebay, it’s like a resin sticker! I did a video on it on my channel a while back th-cam.com/video/1z_CP0wPQA8/w-d-xo.html
Also genuine ford fuel filter can mean it hasn't actually been replaced for a long long time lol. Love ya content. I'm a sport camper owner too.
That is also a very good point! 👌🏻 thanks mate really appreciate it! Ahhh cool you don’t see many about converted 😁🔥
@@coswecan no mate theres not many campers. Mines performance blue, pop top, r&r bed, custom units, swivel double seat, night heater etc. Look forward to seeing how yours comes along! I do want some gunmetal grey motorsport alloys tho, they look wicked
CCB TV sounds mint mate! 🔥 similar setup to ours, hopefully won’t be long now till it’s properly finished waiting on 1 or 2 bits now 👍🏻

It’s entirely up to you! Seems a bit iffy though 🤷🏻♂️ more questions for him maybe?

Hey mate, cool vid, do your seats in the back have a plastic surround , is it a crew cab, am looking at buying one and trying to find out if genuine?
Thanks for watching mate appreciate it! 👍🏻 My seats in the back have a custom wood surround that’s been carpeted (here’s a link to a video which might show you better - th-cam.com/video/aEyqE203Qfo/w-d-xo.html ).

Ahhh cool man that is helpful so it has to be registered as one I guess , seats are same as ones in front so looks good. Thank you mate :-)
Paul Hughes no problem at all mate! Have fun and stay safe 💪🏻
You can make the tips easy, I'll do a video on how I made them 😎
That would be so cool 👍🏻

Wow man my dads got 2013 Sport 1 in this and I’ve started to do bits to it... and imagine it’s under 40k Miles, I probably make video tbh soon.
Very nice mate, they’re good vans! Yeah if that’s your thing deffo do some videos! Thanks for watching man! 😁💪🏻
coswecan Or we can make a video together mate I’m not really bothered :) give me a follow on insta _Sohiel I’ll send u pics of my van😉

Thanks for watching! All valid points! Good to get a few different peoples points of view and information, so people can make up their own minds! 😁💪🏻
Tell your dad to get some tyre shine on they plastics will bring them back to new
Coastal Rider Will do mate don’t worry, pointless going all in on cleaning where we live at this time of year as it lasts about an hour max haha! 🤦🏻♂️😂
Excellent video thanks, I’m after one. 😁
Thanks for watching man! Hope you find the right one for you 💪🏻
Yes mate I’ve spotted one but online check states 5 speed 85bhp? But photos (gorgeous) looks like a sport, wheels, gear shift (silver top) camera etc.
Might just be a replica in that case 🤷🏻♂️ they did do a 5 speed sport on a 57/07 plate but it would be 130bhp
Yes well it’s really nice with built in dvd in head rests, but 85? And it’s not cheap 2008 £4:5k
It’s personal preference my man, I can’t help you choose! If it’s the one for you, it’s the one for you 😁
Thanks mate.

You should slam it
I’d love too mate but need a bit practicality
Yes you very right
I have one that's slammed but a show car
Yeah that’s the way to do it! One for daily, one for modifying 🔥👍🏻
