New Transit..Road holding in the wet...

[S Andy Man]

I have been driving the new Transit since July.
It must be one of the scariest when driving in the wet..ie.Aquaplaining,no grip on bends etc.
Anyone else had this problem?

Slow down its only a Transit

[Zad]

Which type of Transit? Front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, short wheelbase, long wheelbase, loaded, unloaded?

A RWD LWB unloaded is bound to be all over the place.

[S Andy Man]

Front wheel drive,short wheelbase.
Fully laden.

My 2003 was rubbish compared to my old rear wheel push one. Wheelspin, understeer, braking. All much worse

How are the tyre pressures. They are probably different for unladen and fully laden.

so is mine and it handles like a racing car - as said check your tyre pressures you've probably got an underinflated tyre
