  1. I too have looked for this information and mostly they claim it's good for 150K miles/10 years but there's no way I would stretch it like that. Pun intended.
  2. What if one of the wheels is not standard but of a different offset.
  3. Not at all. It sits on top of Focus/S-Max bits, both considered among the best driving cars.
  4. That's what I meant, perhaps the lane keep assist interfering but if it's off then I would start by checking the tire pressure.
  5. Does it have a lane keep assist?

    DPF? You need to take it to cleaning service.
  7. Yeah, unfortunately I don't have the luxury of losing the middle seat or the fold down seat back for carrying longer items. I use the bulkhead pass-through door regularly. Recaros look tits tho.
  8. No that's just a random image to illustrate what I'm talking about.
  9. No, you can't grab the piston with any kind of pliers. The piston has two little eyes the keys fit in. Someone told me that after I failed to replace mine. Will try again this summer when the weather gets warmer.
  10. No, done it without numbers. Note that you need parking brake release tool for the rears.
  11. It does not affect anything on a highway trip with a cruise control on. Most cars have these behaving identically. Main ways to raise the fuel economy is to numb the gas pedal to limit your input and smoothen little micro movements. Lowering shift points and delaying kickdown etc.
  12. NV200 is nowhere near as comfy as the Connect or Promaster City. Awkward upright seating position and high center of gravity. Promaster City's 2.4 liter Fiat engine has some kind of design flaw, some of them burn oil hard.
  13. If your tank flap is square then yes, of round then not.
  14. Change mine with every service.
  15. Yeah, 4x8 not happening. I have a 1.5x3m trailer for sheet material and anything else oversize.

    Most of the time the reason for slow seat belt retraction is just dirt. A greasy seat belt is really slow.
  17. Right, Gen2 facelift has a shark fin antenna, probably for digital radio reception.
  18. Mine's not rough at all at the same mileage. Could say it's even softish. 16" factory size wheels.
  19. US models have a removable cover there because they are all converted from wagon to van. European models have a full floor from factory.
  20. This is normal for all manufacturers and there is a number of parameters it considers when deciding the S&S. The most likely moment it engages would be driving in nice moderate weather when there's no need for A/C and long enough stretches between stops to have the battery charged. The more load you put on accessories the less likely is the shutoff.
