Year, mileage, model and engine type please. Can you get above 3000 in 4th?
 
Hi Dave the mileage is 113500..it's a 2006 model Transit panel van 2402cc diesel engine 2-AXLE rigid. It's just been serviced but it had that problem when I took it in.. It has 5 gears and it seems 4th and 5th are ok but I haven't gone up to 4000 revs in 4th..I will be taking it out this afternoon and I will put it thru it's paces and get back to you...
 
Treat it to a new air and fuel filter, Roy - and go from there. It should rev higher than that, I think.

I took it out this afternoon and it went fine!!! I only had it serviced yesterday and I only bought it about a month ago, I had service history from the garage I took it to (but that was 5 years ago!),,So all filters and things were changed and it had a good service. So now I am wandering if the service has cleaned all the crap out after I had done a few miles.
 
These vans are fly by wire, with a potentiometer driven by the throttle pedal instead of a cable.....maybe that was sticky.
Hope your van serves you well - they are brilliant vehicles - if only Ford would paint and rustproof them better.
John :)
