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

Let the meltdown begin: https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1725195#p1725203 Right on time.

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.

Heh. Here we go: https://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=92502&start=3870#p1724569

No ?

Ordered another one, this time for myself.

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.

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.

Yes, these are alloys from the new model. Tyres are a couple of percent bigger than yours but it’s not an issue.

Yes.

Holy massive bomb carpet of information Batman!

This part is definitely from inside the transmission and it's probably a goner.

perhaps ask in the facebook group, there are over ten thousand UK people there, some may be well versed in shipping stuff.

Not much apart from a remap.

Overstuffing is not an issue. I have a very specific use for it, light but large loads:

Absolutely. I need a much bigger one than my Cargo Connect. 12 ft long and 5'10" tall.

Is this a high-pressure toroidal tank? If yes, you'll need a new one.

You'll need a full replacement 2DIN fascia to acommodate the switch from a regular model.

Michelin CrossClimates are much quieter than OEM Continentals. Sound insulation also helps a lot.

I have been contemplating getting a box trailer so I can take care of all kinds of hauling with one van. I sometimes transport large electronic devices which need to be plastic wrapped when on a flatbed trailer. This has gotten old and takes too much time and is never 100% water tight.

The chicken tax is somewhat understandable to screw foreign manufacturers but in TC case they just screwed their own while creating a shipful of landfill.

Nice to have this freedom. The cargo van has possible tire sizes written on the B-pillar (16” only) and I wouldn’t pass inspection if different. They’re really strict about it over here.

A van + trailer has much more function than a truck unless you need 4x4.
