  • I finally have a jump starter, this was sent out to me to test after Topdon saw I was struggling to start my projects. This is the smallest jump starter on the market and the cheapest.
    How good is it? Will it start a totally dead transit Mk7 or will it fail miserably?
    Let's find out and put this Topdon through its paces with this extreme demonstration.

    It is possible to jump transits from under the bonnet if jumping from another vehicle. There is a dedicated positive terminal . And clip negative to the engine lifting eye - ( next to air box )

    Yes the guy below is quite correct, no need to mess about inside when under the bonnet will do it ok, I still favor the good old style jump pack!!. Even a top make like snap on would struggle on a cold day like that. "Good Content" Thanks.👍

    Probably the toughest, and most honest test that TopDon could get - thanks for the vid, and even happoer that the booster coaxed the Transit back into life, especially in your current weather conditions!
    Does this mean imminent action on the Transit🤔😉

      There's a little more work on the Peugeot first but the Transit will be making its big appearance in the new year
