Yeah, that's also confusing. Tourneo Connect is actually just the Wagon version of Transit Connect and has car mirrors. Van version is just Transit Connect like they call them all in the US. The difference is just the trim pieces, the wagon variant being a bit more car like and van more bare. All van variants have large mirrors from the factory. But as they only took wagons to the US and ripped out the seats and windows to convert them to vans after passing customs to circumvent chicken tax, all had small mirrors in the US regardless the trim level or variant. In 2010-2013 all Connects, van or wagon, came with the new tail lights like you now have. The separate naming is completely useless. I wish they dropped it. Toyota tried to change Corolla hatchbacks and wagons to Auris for a decade and finally bailed on it this year. Come on, it's the same car.

If it's the same engine, which I suspect, It's been great so far in our Berlingo, 8700 km on it now.

That’s a first ? Did you get the clusters without the sockets? The old and new are not compatible.

The lamps are Euro TC 2010-2013 tail lamps. Not Mondeo/Fusion.

Only made one change so far: reset battery counter.

Mine's this or very similar: https://www.amazon.com/Mestart-OBDII-OBD2-Bluetooth-Car/dp/B01HXGX8V6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=elm327+bluetooth+obd2&qid=1565598457&s=gateway&sprefix=elm327&sr=8-4 Android over Bluetooth. IOS requires Wifi AFAIK, BT won't work.

Both, gasoline and LPG. Also my dashboard readout correlates precisely with fill-up method. That's for gasoline. Not possible to do with LPG as there's no concrete shutoff moment.

Mine’s doing 22 mpg (mixed driving).

At what temp are your 6F35s running? Mine is 208F at highway speeds.

Marked point: 70 mm from inner plane to the spot welded edge, +10 mm to the outer shell in the middle. Same spot on the right (towards front of the vehicle) is 10 more mm.

There is a 5-seater cargo van available in Europe. Less trim and windows, a detachable divider behind the seats.

I don't think you need to remove the door panel. Not 100% sure tho.

A high end portable Bluetooth speaker would be the best option. Doesn't drain your battery and the best ones sound really great. We have ## 3 and 6 of the bunch in the house and both are awesome. I have also one rugged Jawbone speaker to drag around in the garage but it sounds crap.

Still not done. Probably next week. Scheduling issues.

I pretty much always back up to the parking spot. There's a very good reason for it - I have a good overview of the surroundings when arriving, not so much when backing out of the parking spot. Nothing actually.

After a flat battery again yesterday I bought a new 72Ah one today. Took me an hour and a half to replace it. It's really tight and inconvenient. The old battery was 1830 days old. We'll see if it'll be any better with the new one or do I need to replace something else.

I don't need a camera for parking but it's sure nice for mounting a trailer, especially a loaded one you can't maneuver by hand.

I hear ya

My battery has gone flat several times. Today the latest. Could not get the car running after it has sat outside for an hour after a two hour drive. I had forgotten my laptop charger in the 12V socket but it should not kill the battery in an hour. There’s definitely something wrong with it. Had a towing service give me a jump start. Should really get a battery pack of my own. Drove back home for two hours and the battery charge had only gotten up from 48% to 65%. Charging voltage seems fine (14.3V), battery voltage during charging is 14.1V but after that it’s 12.3V (at 65% charge), which is basically a dead battery.

It’s because on paper the new engines meet newer emission standards. Lets not bother ourselves with real life facts.

Factory fit would be these:

If you use all 8 mount points you can load a lot on it. I have seen full size work platforms with detachable ladders mounted on TC/PSA/FCA vans. The longitudinal roof arches (not the middle) are designed to withstand rolling over so the load is not an issue.

Injector swap next week.
