  1. That's ridiculous. Guys in the UK will do that for a fraction of the price. Try sourcing an engine from there and have it fitted by an independent shop locally.
  2. I have these features in my other cars. I use the adaptive cruise all the time, it's great. However, I always turn off the lane keeping features as it really does fight with you trying to follow the exact lane at all times. Normally you would cut some corners and optimize the line you're driving on.
  3. Mine also has it behind the grille of the left tear storage compartment.
  4. Have you asked in the facebook group?
  5. It will affect your warranty and probably rises your Nox emissions but it'll be fun.
  6. There's no stalk. Instead there's a tilt button between the left side steering wheel spokes.
  7. Could be anything in the front axle. Steering rack, tie rod ends and wheel bearings are known to be the weak parts.
  8. I've seen diesel engine swaps reported done in a day.
  9. I'm in Europe. We have a different octane determination method (RON). North America uses MON, which is 8-12 numbers lower for the same fuel. My flap list includes all acceptable grades.
  10. Owww. I stand corrected. It would have been funnier if I had ordered one from the US and discovered the missing turbocharger at home.
  11. 1.6 Ecoboost does not require premium. Regular is fine. 95 octane (RON) is the lowest grade you can get over here.
  12. They do offer it in the US: https://www.ford.com/trucks/transit-connect-passenger-van-wagon/compare-models/ We only get 1.0 Ecoboost and 1.5 turbodiesel nowadays.
  13. Congrats on the anniversary. We do have more choice but most of it is diesel. I want the 2.0 Ecoboost so much ?
  14. To make things even more confusing there are also subcompact van Transit Courier and passenger van Tourneo Courier.
  15. Almost. Two adults and one small kid is comfortable longitudinally. If one of the kids agrees to sleep across then it's probably okay. The actual usable length without converting anything is about 7 ft. 10 ft is against the dashboard.
  16. I have never noticed that before but now it'll be my burden for sure. Find a way to remove the shiny trim parts and have a friendly sign shop wrap it in matte vinyl.
  17. You'll need three anchor points anyway. A beam across the partition fixed to the B-pillars and partition in the middle.
  18. I know that, I have mentioned it before. However, looking from this side of the pond, the freedom of unsafe modifications you see on the US streets is dumbfounding. Slightly offset third brake light not meeting safety requirements seems odd. It's pretty common over here.
  19. You can get the original door mounted third brake light from ebay.
  20. There's also a community in Facebook, search for Transit Connect Campers if you're a Facebook user.
