Base vehicle details

Hi
I want to do a bit of maintenance on my M reg Jan 95 2.5 Banana diesel duetto,cambelt,discs etc
I have put the reg in on various parts sites and it comes up as a Ford transit but it won't let me order parts from the reg
what is the base transit they were built on please
Thanks
Neil

Does your V5C not have full base vehicle details, Neil?

Good point Rog
I bought it last Thursday and only have the small bit of paper from the V5c
Thanks
Neil

Hi, my 1999 Duetto is based on Ford Transit 100 LWB, I would assume yours is the same base vehicle, though mine has the 2.5 turbo engine.
Hope that helps

Not sure if you're aware but you can now do all the change of ownership stuff on the gov.uk website:

we did this recently and had immediate confirmation of change by email then the new V5C came in the post within 5 days.

Go on The Ford Transit forum on internet. Very helpful site,,,BUSBY65.

Apart from the Transit Forum have a look on the Ford Etis Web Site it will give you all details of your vehicles chassis

Hi Neil , Don't be surprised if youre van is a different year model than the registration. Once the vans are built they will be stood before they are converted. A 55 plate van could be a 2003 build model. As Roli said Ford Etis will confirm the year model for parts etc.

very true,,my 1998 Excelsior was on a 1996 base vehicle. Wonder if Ford sold them old stock on the cheap? Once purchased a Seddon/Atkinson tractor unit that had been stood unregistered for over a year,,saved about £20000 on list price,,,BUSBY65.

Sounds like you have a mk 4 transit lwb 100 if you have the banana engine, we had one and found the same problem. Partly this is because ford no longer list them on their site. Transit forum is very useful highly recommend you join that. Most parts are still available however, not that we needed many on ours. Best engine Ford ever engineered, unfortunately it failed new exhaust emision standards.
