The love of transit
Sort of like a mechano body shell, buy the complete kit!There are a lot of replacement panels available now.
Start buying them.
Much easier.
Actually, I've just had to replace a starter on a (I think) '94 190. Watched a couple of utubes of guys sweating and cussing underneath their trucks and wasn't looking forward to it but it turned out to be one of the easiest mechanicing jobs I've done. Could access everything from under the hood, plenty of space, bolts undid with ease, half hour job including a couple of trips up the hill to get tools and cleaning up all the contacts. I had to do it because the battery lead was loose on the solenoid and when I tried to tighten it the stud broke away [the split washer was just a cake of rust]. It starts almost before you think about turning the key!When it comes to transits, there is no love - just masochism.
Plenty of panels available for both, you need to cut them out of a 2 x1 sheet thoughIt's a lot like the joys of LDV ownership.... except there are replacement panels for Transits
