  1. Ford has no minivans left in Europe either. The Transit/Tourneo Connect is basically a VW Caddy Life and it's a VAN in its core, unlike Honda/Toyota/Chrysler products.
  2. 3PMSF is self-certification so it doesn't really mean anything, objectively. Mine were first edition which were not much different from summer tires apart from aggressive and self cleaning pattern. Now (according to my tire guy) with CC3 they have finally nailed the compound for snow use but lost the treadwear characteristics. This is just plain physics, its impossible to have both - grip on ice/snow and long life.So if you are going to need to have separate summer tires anyway you might as well go with cheap proper winter tires which beat even CC3 hands down.
  3. Amazing. This form factor is all the rage in Europe. Maverick size would be pretty much perfect as it's a bit bigger than the old Connect and not as big as the Transit Custom (which I ordered)
  4. You only have one option: get a pair of the same measurements and load rating. You can't replace a single spring if you don't know what the other one is and even then you would need both if the other one is old enough.
  5. My 2016 has been extremely reliable. Not a single issue and it's my daily since new. Then again, I have maintained it very well, transmission flush every 50K etc. Regarding snow handling: no issues whatsoever with snow tires. As good as any other medium-large size car.
  6. Try Transit Connect Campers group in facebook. Seen some rugged installs there. Mostly Mk1 tho.
  7. No but in case you want a metric instrument cluster with white dials for E100 Corolla, or perhaps a cargo shelf, I'm your guy.
  8. No, just to protect the panels, which are not waterproof.

    Water leak

    No, get it fixed ASAP. Losing coolant ends up in a major failure.
  10. My cargo came with a single incandescent bulb in the cargo area with a blank unwired mount in the other side. The configurator offered a €70 LED upgrade but I did not get it. Ordered a pair of LEDs from Aliexpress for €15 and ran an extension cable from the original spot. Very bright.
  11. There are Transit Connect campers and Campervan self build groups in facebook. Try asking there.
  12. I think it's a Mazda engine, also used in the Escape.
  13. All attempts to do that I have seen online so far have failed.
  14. Seen Mondeo 2.2 conversions in the facebook forum. Not a simple task tho.
  15. Have not. But then again, I shop at a supermarket or sports outlets, not specialty shoe stores.
  16. Never even heard of the brand before. Have had just a few pairs of hiking boots (for winter mostly) and these have been hi-tech, not traditional (Columbia, Halti and such).
  17. I have picked my configuration and will be ordering a fully equipped LWB Custom Sport soon. Not decided over the color yet.
  18. That's rusted stuck and you can get it out by turning the bolt until the cable breaks. Then get a new cable.
  19. LESS = without Your body warranty should still be valid if the previous/original owner did the checkups. Fords have cheapo configurations in their window switches. You'll just have to deal with it. Check if you have window open-close from the fob, click unlock ond hold the button for a few seconds. The windows should open (and close) if equipped. Some have this feature, mine doesn't. Double locking is a safety feature so nobody can steal your stuff in the back when you have entered the van.
  20. I only have one good pair of shoes left, why am I getting double golden toilet seats advertised instead of shoes.
  21. Also, while roof boxes are an item of interest and I've just purchased a portable compressor I've never searched for Trump toilets or Melania stockings:
