Oh Dear a Ford 
Gone are the days when Ford made a commitment to the British worker and the British public bought a Ford because it was "British"
Sadly the Transit was taken away from us in Southampton and it is now made in Turkey as you rightly say.
Certainly the new shape transit is much better than its predecessor but I have heard of some problems with it, the older engine had well known fuel pump issues and whether the set up is the same I have no idea. VW have of course been using their own tried and tested engines for a long time now and are reliable and long lived.
Enjoy your van David but for goodness sake dont pander to those ungrateful folk you seem to have in your area, at you're age you should be taking it easy with a stick and getting meals on wheels
