Bad cluster. Repair.

does the led work? need repair sometimes. mine lost the clock. the guy repairing it said it’s a common problem with these clusters, connections break.

We don't have subway but the rest of the public transport is pretty empty compared to normal.

A good tiedown is essential. I once drove back (2.5h drive) from an event where I had lots of random stuff to haul back to the town. Being really OCD about cargo tiedown I had loaded everything like a perfect Tetris stack. The back of my 2006 TC was two thirds full of sporting goods, printers, dishes, coffee machine etc. So I was driving through the forest in the middle of the night, tired as hell after the event having worked 30h in a row an elk couple ran over the road. They were far enough but I instinctively braked as hard as I could. Could not hear even a drinking glass move in the back. Complete silence. I congratulated myself and kept driving.

I have the 2-speaker AM/FM/USB/BT radio and the harness does not even have rear speaker cables in the plug. The colors are also different, locations match:

Your outside temperature sensor may report freezing temps. The compressor does not turn on to protect the condenser from freezing.

Double click the unlock button?

I would keep the Grand Marquis forever ❤️

How big are your dogs? There's the OEM van partitition with a pass-through door for long items to extend into passenger footwell. This might work for smaller dogs.

We have a semi-lockdown. No actual restrictions other than public entertainment is closed and no gatherings allowed, including schools. I'll be going to the office tomorrow but it's quiet so shorter days.

Naturally I will be buying OEM spec, not some "tuning" parts.

Van needs substantial brake work. Rear discs seem to be really coarse and rusty like having been stuck. So I did a sportier driving session and the rust was gone, obviously not stuck. Both front and rear need new pads and new discs in the rear. Going for Brembo or Bosch, well worth a few extra Euros. Z

Very likely. I never did replace mine during the 10 years of ownership.

Nope, definitely not. The only part this could come from is a piston but 45 mm diameter is just half of it.

Hmm, the inside does not seem like the crankshaft bearing. Or how it could get out of its seat. Has this engine been worked on? Like a rebuild or anything major?

Holy crap, this looks like crankshaft bearing.

I did not, the shop that did the flushing did.

Sure, but it needs to match Mercon LV specfications. Castrol TransMax has been widely used by members of this forum. Mine was flushed with Dexron VI, which is the same fluid as Mercon LV.

Depends on the year. 2013 onwards (new shape) is good enough. The 6F35 transmission can be upgraded with stronger components during repair and if you change the fluid often enough it should be trouble free. Unlike Ford's description the transmission is not service-free with "lifetime fluid". It's regular Mercon LV (50K miles max). First generation uses Focus engine/transmission and it's obviously too weak for the size of the car so you could expect more trouble but there have also been reports of very high mileage with original bits.

Transit Custom.

I get it. It's just those are rally car wheels

You need way more rally stripes on it with these wheels.

I have never seen all black ones, they're all black/chrome over here (Estonia, Europe).

I do have a set from my Gen1 days but I’m half way around the world.

Oh yes. Go to a diesel specialist. They know exactly how it's supposed to work and sniff out a problem right away.
