Excellent video. I have just bought something very similar so this was very educational for me. Thank you.
Very nice van" Mr T would be proud too. Enjoy it.
Love your van. What make is the reversing camera kit?
I've watched this video 3 times now. Great honest review! So much so that I've just reserved my first Transit Custom from Manchester Van sales. One question. What is the brand of lock upgrade you had fitted?
Manchester van sales sorted it out for me so not sure what the brand of locks are. I am sure Darren will tell you 👍🏻
@@tomkatgastraining thanks mate. I'll email him tomorrow 😁👍
Really good informative video. Thanks
What brilliant video thank you mate
Great video 🙏🏾 love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hey Derek, I love this Van 👍👍👍
Your camera work is so good, you put a lot of effort into your videos
Thanks kat x
You can check the adblue exact miles left in the tank by selecting on the steering wheel settings on screen find maintenance's and it will show adblue and or tyre pressure sensor etc.
Excellent vid…. I drive a 70 plate custom ltd take it down to southern Spain. Comfortable and effortlessly. I prefer manual over the auto. It’s incredibly forgiving. Great towing van too. Not done the fancy seats 😂 whoops sorry.. they look fantastic. Enjoy your van….a joy to own
Be careful of those tyres, like most aftermarket installs you probably have illegal tyres fitted due to being much under rated to the original factory fitted tyres. I'm guessing they are load rating 99 = 775kg per corner = 1550kg per axle. You have a axle rating on that van of 1760kg front & 2050kg rear that's a huge 500kg under if you fully load up the rear of your van. You tyre weight rating must be the same or exceed original fitted specification. OK as long as you don't have a crash and they look at your tyres!!!
Great vid mate Great detail Love my Ford's Even though they have problems Looking to get a new van Been looking at the Custom don't Quite know if I want something that big or the Connect Anyway MUFC FOREVER CHEERS MATE.
They do look good done up like that, I have a question, how many of your alloys have cracked?? I have the same wheels in my custom & they're bad for cracking 😥
Not cracked but can’t stop at a curb without scratching them 😂👍🏻
As Borat would say, very nice!
Great video mate thank you. I didn’t know I had electric mirrors until I watched your video! Your van looks the absolute business. I was wondering as silly as it sounds but how did you get a compass to show up on your car play? Is that built into your system or do I need to download a certain car play app from the App Store? Would really appreciate the advice if you know
It was already there mate so sorry I can’t help but thanks for watching cheers
@@tomkatgastraining No worries buddy thanks for the reply 👍🏻
Not bad mate , always loved the transit , just keep the maintenance schedule, and check the wheel joins and rods every 12k they can fail if your bumping curbs to park out of traffic
Did you sort the creaky doors? Both my rear doors did that on my 2021 model and it drove me mad for months. Then I sprayed loads of silicone lubricant over and under all the door rubbers and that sorted it completely.
Yep sorted the garage did it 👍🏻
Great van great colour I like it I like it a lot 😊👍
Great vid. bud. love these cans but out of my price range. love to know if ur still using this and how your getting on with it now.
Use it everyday still love it and had no problems 👍🏻
A great vid. I stumbled across by chance as I'm looking up Transit Custom vans due to my getting my first one this Friday.
I really like the RS steering wheel and just wondered where RS is based and whether you knew how much they are?
It all came as a package so have no idea of each cost sorry
@@tomkatgastraining OK no probs, thank you for letting me know 👍
Hi great video!! Can i ask what colour the alloys are please? They look like a graphite grey colour? Thanks
They are black 👍🏻
Awesome van Derek, I guess it'll be good for taking you trainees out to progress on their portfolios.
Just out of curiosity how come you you decided with TomKat gas as a company name?
My son is called Thomas and my daughter is called kathrine so tomkat 😁👍🏻
@@tomkatgastraining Ok cool, makes perfect sense now 😊👍.
Good review mate 👍 don't mind me asking what you paid all in if its alot cheaper than buying a a Ford msrt
Too much mate 😜
Where did you get the skirts front side and back from?
Hey, would you get all your daily tools in the back of one of these? I’m undecided about this or a standard Ford custom? Cheers….nice van
Installing tools no 👍🏻
Very in depth would be good if you had a load more vans. New van review channel? Cheers
Excellent detailed video, really enjoyed it. Going to do very similar upgrades on my Transit soon. Just a tip to protect the alloy rims, you can buy tires that have rim protection ( they are designed to stick out over the rim) not much more expensive and they work brilliantly.
Nice van.
Euro 6 is an emissions standard not engine.
Add blue has nothing to do with the engine or efficiency. It gets squirted into the exhaust to make the harmful diesel particels stick together so they're then heavier, so less airborne, improving air quality.
Hope that helps.
Have you the link for the storage boxes plz :)
Did you work out a way of getting some more charging points for the rear seats? Need to sort something for my kids too...
No couldn’t find anymore
@@tomkatgastraining I'll let you know if I manage to work something out. Great video by the way. Helped answer a lot of questions I had about the dciv
Well nice mate. Smashed it. 👍🏻
Asian Jon
What’s your average mpg been like over the last 8 months. I’m buying one but stuck between the manual of auto. I will be towing at times too
25 mpg at the moment
Hey Derek thanks for the video.
I have rented ford transit custom 8 seater in August for a holiday cruise.
I love the van it drives well but oh boy the driver seat I couldn't get on with , I'm thinking to buy the van and change the seat after some time.
How did you find your van stock seat?
Cheers
I am so used to Ford seats I am probably the wrong person to ask 😜👍🏻
Would have been nice to have the low level hatch so you could still get 3m lengths of tube in there 👍
Trust me mate no copper tube will go in this van 😜🤣👍🏻
@@tomkatgastraining 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have one of these, the rear passenger sliding door also makes this horrible noise! Did you sort it?
Yes they have realigned the door 👍🏻
Hi, Mate. What's the tyre size of your Van .
Yes they are great vans but I find there are multiple problems with media head unit. Ford keeps saying it's software up date problems. This never fixes the problems, do you also have problems involving the unit?
Not at the moment
I've got one the same I would have liked a driver's side grab handle,
Yeh agree it’s funny watching my wife trying to get in the van
Yep, I agree with the "NO CD" player comment, bloody annoying that they didn't put one in it...!!!
I hope that wet timing belts been done
Great and rare video!
Not a secret compartment now 🤣🤣 how much was it to get your seats done
Do you know where you can buy this body kit from? Is it plastic or fibreglass?
Not a clue sorry
Nice van..
Ohhhh Nice👍🏾
If you lift the armrest all the way up, it should reset itself and you can then select what height you would like it at.
Yep I know but couldn’t find an angle I liked so I don’t bother with it now
@@tomkatgastraining No worries, you need to get it remapped though Bro! Massive difference in performance and fuel economy.
@@Sash_Window I can’t yet still has manufacturers warranty 👍🏻
@@Sash_Window Any suggestions where to get it remapped ?
connect locks carnt be upgraded the drivers door lock position makes it impossable
Hello mate what company did you use to get the seats done thanks
Everything was done through Manchester van sales
The seat surgeons in York 👍
At one point he lasted 15 seconds without pointing.
Is the end missing off your name
👏😄
spacer cm ?
Someone’s had your rear interior led lights away and replaced with the cheap lights off the lower spec customs
what roof bars are they?
I have no clue sorry
Where can you buy a steering wheel please
Manchester vans sorted it all out for me
great video but you point at us a lot..... like loads!
Nice van mate but unfortunately the nicer the the more likely its going to get broken in to, happened twice to me now and my mate lol we both own grey transits too
Sorry to hear that it makes my blood boil when nothing is done about it and when they do catch the scum they get told to don’t do it again 😖
Why not just buy the sport? Is it a lot more money?
Couldn’t buy one because of the pandemic
It's very fast!
спасибо за обзор!!!!
Standard lead does not work with android auto need the faster lead need to explain that in the video
You just have thanks 👍🏻
What do you mean, like a USB 3 cable or? I have many problems with my phone and connecting to the van?
@@Neil-Aspinall USB C Cable, RAVIAD USB 3.0 Type C Cable [3.3ft/1m] Nylon Braided USB C Fast Charging Cable for Samsung Galaxy S10 S9 S8 A40 A70 Note 10 9, Huawei P30 P20, Google Pixel, Sony Xperia XZ, OnePlus Grey
Hope that helps
isn't that a good thing having the mother an law in the back (between you & me) :)
😜👍🏻
I got a 2.2 155 bhp custom lwb crew cab 2015 and I get 35mpg loaded your boosting turbo to much lol
Weedy engine, good video
Slow down tiger 😂
From a practically point Those back door check straps are such a stupid design and a step backwards. They get in the way when anything is leant against the side of van , you can fold the back and clip
In to door but the second the door is
Shut it pops loose and because it’s spring loaded it’ll swings out and will dent damage whatever’s leaning against the side such and a door.
Another gripe is the rubber seal at the bottom that catch’s all the detritus- they should have done something similar to the old mk7 transit
I like the look of Ford Custom Vans but by reports from other owners, the paint is absolute rubbish easily chipping etc.
Don’t bother with the tv ,they can use there iPads etc providing they can charge they’ll be happy
That Mint Green T6.1 parked next to it puts this old unreliable Ford box to shame. No matter what you do with this it will never hold a candle to that VW
Lol 80000 miles still plenty lest in her
Derek my van is 2018 transit custom shes up 90000 from new
Why has every engineer got to go and put alloy shoes on a work van
Tut ,tut, tomkat
It’s not a work van no tools will be going into this beauty
So!
You had me until you said Man U fan 🤮. Good van though
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Up the Chels
@@gary8862 what do you think of your chances this season then 😁
Nice van, trouble is when fellas like you pull up to a job in pimped up vans all the customer thinks is top doller prices and getting ripped off.
Why cant so called tradesmen just drive normal vans instead of looking like old American rejects. I still have my old mk6 transit, looked after and does the job. Never had a snide remark about how much I mark up to allow to buy toys like that.
You buy vans like that and your asking for trouble.
I won’t be pulling up outside customers houses to work I train guys to do that but anyway what’s wrong with having a nice van tradesmen and women spend a long time in their van so why not have a nice one .
@@tomkatgastraining nothing wrong with having a nice van, but from experience most tradespersons driving vans that are pimped up are looked on as if they are travelers, travelers being the first to pimp their vans ,it's what you hear in the suppliers and trade centers.
Nice vans are campers or custom vans to show. I personally have a nice car but I to don't take it to customers . Something I was explained to a long time ago by my dad a very successful business man.
If you work hard and are successful you spend your money how you like, life is to short I don't mean to affend it it purely my point of view, l do like your vlogs though top draw.
@@tomkatgastraining 110%
Horrible colour, yoh need something to stand out if ur a gas fitter
I am not a gas fitter so I don’t need to stand out 🤫
I am sure you could request pink? This grey is the most stately professional color in the range, I love it, very smart looking!
Nice van same as mine but my is l2 long wheelbase
🤣🤣🤣cd player you dinosaur
