Thanks chaps.
When money allows, yes. For the time being helping out on restorations/making roadworthy.

Only owned modern transits. Prepare for a culture shock!! Welcome to the world of no power steering, four speed gearboxes and no turbo. Welcome all the same!

The good news is if a 2L pinto timing belt goes you just put another one on! The DI usually escapes with minimal damage too.

Only the 2L is none interference only though. The 1.6L pinto will suffer.
