Apart from issues with LPG systrm that's wonky at times there have not been problems with mine. 148Mm on the odometer. -
Snow driving is fine but only with actual winter tires (mandatory over here). Not all seasons or all weathers.

It's based on the Focus and most parts are shared. Don't worry about it. -

Information on ordering a '23?
mrtn replied to RussBarnes's topic in Buying, Leasing, Ordering & Owner Impressions
Oh, that's just a trim level. I meant substantial difference. -
Nice! But shave the protruding bolt ends, good man.

The body is fine, as much as it can be in the rust belt, 148Mm on it (92Kmiles). The LPG device is saving money, yes. Break even point is past. Gasoline costs €1.7/L ($6.89/USgal) after the recent drop due to the world market stabilizing (was €2.1 a few months ago), LPG costs 74 cents/L ($3/USgal). My buddy driving an E-tron said LPG is cheaper than electricity per distance over here. Then again, electricity price is abnormally high at the moment.

No. I heard he had issues with the LPG device right away after purchase. I called to apologize and said he can return the van if he likes. So the next day he acceped my offer.

Well, they're worth every penny. Usually last 150K+ miles.

Yeah, we have had a proper snow storm for a couple of days, just stopped snowing. Been shoveling for hours. EDIT: aaaand it's snowing again.

If the only symptom is not starting in cold then the obvious and cheapest fix is replacing the glow plugs. I did mine when there was only one functional one left. Replaced all, the plugs were around €10/pop.

So to ensure me supervising t0aster's nonsense in this forum I have bought back my Olde Transit Connect. Baby's home.

Agreed. That's 00's technology and not getting any younger. -
Automatic to manual conversion....it's complicated
mrtn replied to Don Ridley's topic in Transit Connect Member Custom Builds
There's also a Gen1 combo with 1.8 Zetec/manual but that won't probably work for Duratec. -

It's a truck plant so more suitable for bigger vehicles. They also make semi trucks. -

It's the same car, talking about NA models. Caddy based '23 Tourneo Connects (Transit Connect passenger vans) have been available in Europe, in theory at least. Pic from Facebook (credit Steven): -
