The Ford Transit has been an iconic van on British roads since 1965. Incredibly, it was the best-selling vehicle in the UK in 2022, and it has won International Van of the Year an impressive five times, including in 2024. Top speeds for the Transit typically range between 90 and 110 mph, with a 0-60 time of around ten to 20 seconds.

An interesting piece of trivia is that in one episode of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson drove a converted Transit hover van up the River Avon.

Car electric window systems usually have a control switch connected by two circuits to a motor in each door, wired to the battery and the car's electrical system. One circuit and switch position moves the windows up; the other moves them down.

Several components can break or malfunction: the motor, fuse, window regulator, switch or cable pulley could be to blame. If any of these stops working, you'll need to book a car electric window repair.

Who can fix electric car windows? Many mechanics can do this type of repair, though if you want a specialist, it's best to find an auto electrician, especially if you suspect the problem is related to the wiring.
