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.

mrtn replied to GTVan50's topic in Accessories and Modifications

2013 ford transit connect XLT.... Sync Aux input has quit
mrtn replied to Dacflyer's topic in 2002-2013 Ford Transit Connect
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): -
Android Auto for phone screens was discontinued. They put all effort on the car screen now.

Don't forget gay shits and giggles.

You can't rationalize Half Wheeled Skateboard's behavior. As he personally never asks for help, he tells.

Now I am never leaving this forum. Just for this guy harassing other members.

TC downshifting when coming to a stop - is it normal?

Which year? In my experience 2014+ it's normal. -

I have very long arms so it has not been an issue. The first move would be soaking a rag in diluted dishwashing fluid and rubbing as far you can standing up outside the car, then inside. Finish up with windex+paper, polish with a clean and dry rag.

When I had the same issues it tuned out to be a worn out high pressure pump. Worth taking it to diesel specialist.

These are old enough to be legal in the US. There are plenty of normal sized Japanese cab-over vans of the same shape. All really cool. They were imported en masse from Finland back in the switch of 80/90s when I could not afford anything but a used Lada and they were really popular because of post soviet spawn of private business and the vans were very practical for that. Mitubishi Delica, Nissan Vanette, Toyota Liteace/Townace, etc.
