  1. Well, luckily you can have a direct rear view camera and a "rear view mirror" screen mounted.
  2. You can have those with the correct badge too. You hardly see a pickup truck in construction business over here because of the limited payload and size.
  3. Perhaps you could benefit from the Euro van mirrors, with convex lens in the bottom:
  4. They're not as effective as the large mirrors on Mk1 (vs the small ones). So don't worry about it.
  5. I had the one that replaced the rear license plate light, it was okay as a camera but the LED started flickering quite soon:
  6. I can appreciate that. I'm in sign supply business so a nice wrap is always fun to look at.
  7. Sure, total mileage impressive but even more impressive per annum. The newer one seems to have been doing 50K/year.
  8. Mane, that's a lot of miles :O
  9. I love winter driving but it was snowing so hard and wind changing direction twice per second that I could not spot the road reflector poles before a few feet away hoping I'd hit the next ones in the middle as well. Kept an eye on the navigation screen as well to anticipate a bend.
  10. Contact Paul Hayes in transit connect'ed facebook group. He seems to be doing fabrication work for Connects.
  11. Right, such as railroad crossings that are not perpendicular etc.
  12. Mine's a cargo van as well. It is a bit firm compared to an old sedan with bias ply tires but exactly like any other compact to mid size car/SUV today. I say you try soft tires.
  13. 16" wheels and soft wall tires. No other cheap mods, I'm aftraid. Doesn't feel too firm to me at all.
  14. For such a new car I would only check the air filter before taking it in together with Ford's own brochure and fuelly printout of other drivers' averages.
  15. I need to do this. I bought the single heated seatless car in the whole country.
  16. As my profile info says: 1.6 Ecoboost. The 2.5 litre Mazda four-banger is not available in Europe. The 2.5 in Focus is a 5-cylinder from Volvo.
  17. The shared Focus platform only covers Gen1 on both sides.
  18. These new CANBUS vehicles behave differently from expectation in various electical conditions.
  19. Wouldn't know, snow tires are mandatory here from Dec1 to March 31.
