  1. I think you'll need to replace the whole thing unless there's a standard attachment behind it.
  2. It's the same issue in my business. Delivery of goods postponed for months, then silence, then 6 weeks delay. Then 2 weeks. I can not promise any delivery dates. Wanted to buy a bicycle, called my dealer I have gone to for ages. They said their containers allocated for spring sale are stuck on Evergiven in Suez canal, there nothing big enough in stock. All suppliers have informed me of price hike, 3-30%. Never before have I experienced such global s***show.
  3. Well, the TC has been sold for 19 years in Britain & Europe. There's a massive fleet of them on the roads over here.
  4. There's a lot more traffic in facebook. "Better" or not is a separate question.
  5. That's not right. I replaced a front wheel bearing maybe twice in 10 years/190K miles.
  6. And you can always use 3M VHB tape to stick one on however you like.
  7. We have a local manufacturer for universal plate holder which hits all possible screw hole configurations. I have it in mine.
  8. Holy crap. Who screwed your number plate on?
  9. Join transit connect'ed facebook group. There are many people with serious transplants up to Focus RS engines and everything between.
  10. In British terms you have Mk1 (Gen1). Some people mix it up with facelifts. Mk1/Gen1 had two facelifts - the model reaching US market being the second one.
  11. Wait what. The glovebox is on top of the instrument cluster (in European models). The center pod has no room for it.
  12. It's a gimmick. It does nothing but mess up the MAF and allow too much dust in your engine.
  13. The differences between Mk1 are only by carrying capacity. There are loads of different cars with compatible bolt patten: https://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Ford/Transit Connect (2003 - 2013).html
  14. Let the meltdown begin: https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1725195#p1725203 Right on time.
  15. I'm fairly certain that they do not manufacture different floorpans for different seating configurations and it should be bolt-on. BUT, you also need the underseat console/storage for the middle seat, it's an integrated solution. You would obviously need to remove the standard center console. The 2-seater has a lighter divider, the 3-seater's divider is much sturdier as it has the middle seat belt's upper attachment in the middle.
  16. Heh. Here we go: https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=92502&start=3870#p1724569
  17. Ordered another one, this time for myself.
  18. I have watched more than dozen Custom videos in past 24h. I was browsing through sales listings looking for a new van and some really nice looking/well equipped Customs popped up but anything I'd like are waaay past €40K and I'm not willing to pay that much for a work van.
  19. https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=142179 The engine code is on the door post plate.
  20. It’s regular open diff, no preference from the differential side. The transmission is on the left so the drive shaft is also shorter. There’s a theoretical chance of the LF wheel getting more immediate torque but it’s just theoretical.
