We didn't have seat belts, remember? Well, at least the bus my Father drove did not:

Dry carpet cleaner spray + vacuum?

I went classic. You could call them base modelish, but I wanted to make sure they're strong and from a reputable manufacturer as I sometimes ride fully loaded and a thin spoke wheel may fail a pothole, so I ditched the original idea to get a fancy replica wheel.
-
Pretty sure my dealer tells me there's no changing the oil and never will be. I'm at 47,000 km.

I have just gotten 9 years out of my Toyota's original battery. It still had plenty of cranking power even in deep freezing temperatures (we got down to -20C (-4F) this winter) but leaving the doors open for a couple if hours drained it to the point of no return. Getting a new OEM one tomorrow.

I wouldn’t buy anything more complicated Russian made than tar mat. That’s about the level they perform without screwing it up. Seen it up close for way too long. Unless you need the mat for your roof, a Russian product will probably leak and spontaeously combust.

Most of the EU market pizza vans are worthless as personal transportation. The Connect being one of the best in the bunch, up there together with VW Caddy.

Front doors, wheel wells. It's not perfect tho as most of the road noise comes in from the suspension as it's a rather simple McPherson setup.

We have different trim level designations in Europe apart from Titanium which it's only available for the passenger wagon. The work van (including crew cab) trim levels are Ambiente (base, meant for fleet I guess), Trend (mid level) and Sport (mid level, manual only). Seen all kinds of configurations, including navigation, automatic climate control etc. My sales guy explained that the actual configuration is up to regional distributor who can come up with whatever trim combination they can think of as long as they allocate and buy it from the factory.

True, but try that in a snowstorm at -20 degrees.

I guess you're not. Call for roadside assistance or smth. I'm yet to buy a booster battery with a fixed wiring with a plug for the time a surge is needed.
-
It’s not that easy to check the level on the road.
-
I thought all drums had inspection holes. Never thought of checking mine on the Connect.

Minor mount fabrication needed for anything you find. No direct replacement even in Ford lineup.

Yes Sir.

Damn, writing your own orbituary already? :D

There’s a mesh cage with a full height door for the old shape. Isn’t there one for the new one?

If this is the same 1.5 liter Euro6 diesel engine that’s been available in Europe for the past couple of years then it’s run in already, 9 out of 10 Connects sold in Europe are equipped with this unit.

My late Taurus would not shift out of park if two of the three brake lights were out.
-
I'm in Europe, I bought it in this configuration. I think I mentioned in another thread that you can order a LHD version from Germany or any other LHD European country as UK has it in the wrong (they claim it to be the correct) side.
-
I would love to find RWL tires but there are less and less available as time goes on.

Did you paint the letters yourself?

I have this crazy flat passenger seat. It’s not very comfortable for sitting for long periods of time as the padding is thin. The seat base also flips up fully so there’s an empty space in place of the seat.
