  1. The new TC turn circle is double of the old one's.
  2. They should've ditched the moulding completely or made it for US plate only, Euro plate would have covered it. But then again, it would have looked even sillier then with no front plate attached.
  3. I just checked, dude's 80 and on tour right now. Amazing.
  4. Amuse us with stories of Promaster City.
  5. All cars have a steering lock but it only locks at an angle, never straigt ahead. If you need to have the front wheels straight then use a couple of ratchet ties to lock the steering in place. Don't overtighten it, just enough to hold it in place.
  6. Mine's a cargo van, so the seat belt upper mounts double as coat hooks.
  7. I remember the old Taurus having numerous troubles with the transmission range sensor, ie the switch on top of the tranny telling the ECU which position the gear lever is on. It was made of poor quality materials and the copper powder from the worn contacts was all over the sensor causing shorts and wrong readings etc.

    What goes here?

    If to use this just as a switch for aux lighting, sure. I doubt the beam adjuster knob would work.
  9. Does it engage when going downhill? Might be out of breath, stuck air filter or something.

    We discussed this in another thread. The Euro switch includes the rear fog light and headlight angle adjuster knob. They ditched both for US market. No point of swapping it.
  11. Oh crap. This should be taken care by the garage's insurance.
  12. I mean like the Mk1 number plate light camera. No extra drilling, just swap out the plate light.
  13. Less distraction for the average driver. My other cars switch back to blank display right after the first automatic shift has been performed in manual mode. So, manual shift > gear display > remains on until the car is forced to make an automatic shift due to out of range rpm/torque condition.
  14. It's been discussed here before. Several companies manufacture cargo mats for the Connect, Weathertech has been mentioned several times.
  15. Is it a cargo variant? Perhaps Line-X spray on?
  16. That's exactly what this Top Gear clip is about.
  17. I remember the same post (less poetic, tho) somewhere in the internet back when I was driving a Taurus.
  18. Voice control has never worked well and will not for a long time, before the AI gets to the level where the computer is able to undestand abstract thought, not just compare one audio waveform to another. Starting at 4:30
