    You don't. It's not a purpose-built clicker but a bi-metal fuse and you can hear the contacts clicking mechanically.

    Sure, I had mine repaired for €80. It's a known issue with the first generation Connects. The contacts in the back of the unit may come loose and/or break. I had a fracture in one of the pins and lost clock/odo display. Temperature dial as well, IIRC. You can also throw in a whole new cluster from a junkyard.

    One day they'll take off with your onewheeler.

    2010..2013 were only available as LWB in US market. SWB/LWB choice was introduced with the new body in 2014.

    Please do not design my spacecraft.

    Looks great. How does it work with condensation due to sudden temperature changes?

    Nooooo, it's 9322.56 miles. Regardless.

    FYI: EU Tourneo Concect = US Transit Connect wagon. EU Transit Connect = US Transit Connect van.

    Wait, did you change your user name or is my memory acting up?

    Funny, Jamie and Adam said the same.

    Some drunk girl in a plane once told me she had a Volvo 343 with a CVT which had a variable ratio also going backwards. So she frequently found herself reversing at 50 mph.

    It's 15,000 km.

    For small engines in hilly areas or in town the CVT would be the best solution.

    I cared to play with Fuelly for the first thousand miles, double checked the calculations, filled up at the same pump and every single gas fill-up was displayed precisely on the trip computer. So, for me it's precise enough to trust it completely. The same with all cars I have owned. Only one Civic displayed exactly half a liter less than the actual consumption. Absolute half a liter, not a fraction of consumption.

    Oh, this is my favorite part. I've always changed at 9600 miles, quality oil (big manufacturers) only and never burnt a drop even at 180K miles. The cherry syrup looking Castrol that Ford recommends, currently in my Ecoboost, looks brand new at 9600.

    But she's got a kind heart!

    How do you cope with the depressive results of the searches? Or do the successful ones balance it out. I can't imagine.

    There's a trailer module in the back and the transmission shift map should be self-adaptive. The ECU knows the trailer is hooked up. I don't see any heavy duty coolers in mine, looks standard.

    Well, why the hell not.

    Fifty has uncorked a decent bottle of something. Mark my words.

    A Russian ex? Oh wow, you're living on the edge.

    UV print with a suitable primer will also work.

    Did you figure out hod the gasket managed to fail on you? Just age, quality or ground contact?
