  1. Linear radio is pointless. Today you can stream music from the internet or just play MP3 from a USB-stick. Or listen to "radio" as podcasts on demand. Or audiobooks. There is no time in the world to consume everything interesting that's available in the internet for free.
  2. I consider myself a Trekkie but I’m not sure I would go that far

    Hello Guys

    We're not too knowledgeable on full size Transit matters tho.
  4. They’re better than stock halogens but require a bit of aiming. The H7 socket is not fixed by anything else than just the ring, clicked in place. Now the projectors are aimed too low in their normal position so I did some bending of metal to aim them right. First I just turned the aiming screw to level them right but the high beam was too high then. So yeah, not really plug’n’play. I might probably go with big HID projectors that require cutting and automatic leveling mechanism for the rear axle + headlight washers. But thet will either happen when I find a cheap pair of extra headlights or when I don’t need a van for a while to take it off the road.
  5. Turn signal side repeaters are mandatory in Europe. They are mean to be seen at all angles from the side. That's why they bulge, not sit flush with the body.
  6. Chinese stuff: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000080624577.html
  7. Sick of driving in darkness, trying out high quality plug'n'play LED projectors:
  8. Obviously the respect part is a joke but I cannot recall when I last used the horn, maybe a year ago?
  9. Jesus, how often do you use the horn, especially for respect?
  10. This is exactly the type of rust that would fall well inside warranty terms. You could not have caused it even if you really wanted to. It's not penetrating rust but it may be a sign of catastrophic manufacturing error such as missing galvanics.
  11. It's all fine and dandy, but my MM message comes on at 18Mm usually (11K+ miles) and I do quite a bit of towing.
  12. Oil is supposed to get dirty. That's what it does, dissolve carbon particles.
  13. You only hear about problems usually. Not many tell that everything works.
  14. CVT is okay. I have had two. Sold the first one (Honda) at 120K. The second one (Toyota) is currently at 120K with no issues so far.
  15. Exactly, I was just going to post that. You could be neck deep in Scheiße.
  16. Which compression are you lacking?
  17. Yes it does. Oil accumulates in turbo tubing and once it popped it threw out everything there was. After that it just smudges the crack (um, heh) continously but does not drip or spray as it's just mist. Anyway, you need to find the crack, start with the flex hoses.
  18. Turbo issues, I guess. How are the turbo hoses? These need replacement every couple of years. Could spray oil from almost inivisble cracks.
  19. Mine was blue so I wrapped it black.
  20. Oh those are some expensive toolboxes. Nice van btw, I have one just like that
  21. In racing flex is just lost energy.
