Dude, why do you want to risk a ticket and your job, by speeding? Aren't you paid by the hour? Chillax.

...and 70 is 10mph over the limit for a transit.

If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Theres no way you can by pass it unless you have a ford diagnostic. Its Programmed into the ECM.
The speed limit is 60 on dual carridge ways and 70 on motorways And i think youl find 50 on A roads as its not a car derived van.

Its a shame its limited to 70mph
If i and most sane person in the world had there way, they should be limited to 30mph, and only be allowed on any highway between 2300 and 0600

30? You could kill someone at 30 all vehicles should be limited to 11!
Maybe get it chipped? If the limiter is part of the ecu then not only would it remove the limiter but you'll get more power

My latest service van ,Merc Vito is limited as well to 64
at first i hated it (someone said my last one would do 105)
but persevere with it you will get used to it
and i have never had such a clean licence
at the end of the day it really dont make any difference on time
i just drive around on the limiter as it will go up hills loaded on the limit
cheers les g
never ever get a second glance from the pointy heads

Well I believe that 90% of the people on here can see that becoming true in the next 5 to 10 years.
Don't mean to be sarcastic or condescending but one one hand I can see WHY you want the speed and power but then again the speed and power could
mean no license no job and no fun ( toy car) and no money. I know when I'm in the works van and the boss is nippin yer tits that you tend to fly
between jobs. At least if you're in a limited moter that can't happen and your boss can't complain either as he's the one that
put it in place.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Don't see the point in cars that go over 80 anyway, all the fun (for me) comes well before that, after that it's all just drifting by and
nothing feels as fun.
Spent years owning a fast car but never taken it much above 80 except on the odd occasion when I was running seriously late chasing an ambulance.
