    I have always used ratchet belts and be done with it. Takes a minute to fix. Tried bungee cords as well but too much give even when maxed out. I use 3 straps but you can do it with two as well. Then again I have the cargo version so I have 6 sturdy attachment points.

    Good info, thanks. I have some issues with my factory HU, such as sometimes missing sound from the speakers, fine after the next engine restart, sometimes phone buttons on the steering wheel don't work etc. The dealer "reset" the head unit but it didn't fix it and considering their sub-par performance servicing my old TC I bet they will not fix it at all. So I might need to go aftermarket some day.

    No mobile payment by text or app?

    Please don't distract this driver:

    Correct. In the old days we needed "we" for a person with disability to get around.

    While you're at it: spray Tectyl wax inside the bottom edge of the door to prevent condensation to cause rusting there.

    K-cars are awesome. Nissan Cube is my favorite.

    Ditched the Michelins, too soft. Bought Kumho KW31: Hard enough for warm weather, it's now around freezing point (+4..-4°C), good directional stability, defined center point. Come snow.

    Rear hatch variants with seats are named Tourneo instead of Transit in Europe, no other differences. Seats + barn doors are Transits. No other differences that I am aware of.

    ETIS had "LESS fully functional Global Down"?

    Front wheel is easy. Rear wheel is difficult and greasy.

    These are just standard spacers with the added convenient easy installation with no need to drop the strut tower. Extremely expensive for what they are.

    "Hey, wanna show Transit Connect manual conversion on TV?"

    For longer drives you can pop the rear quarter windows open manually but it's not that conveninent.

    Oh, it's perfectly adequate for that. It's quieter and more crossover-like compared to the previous model. Still quite far from a passenger car. Just did a 5 hour round trip the other day, switched to my Toyota station wagon to pick up the kids and felt a big difference.

    It's low 40s here, I think I need to ditch the t-shirt and find a jacket.

    Much of the noise comes from the undercarriage, I think. I have a rigid bulkhead but still noisy.

    Amazing difference within the same country. I guess they excluded Puerto Rico.

    Mine was $10, I think, but it's the same one. I have only tried it with a Nexus phone and a tablet, both work.

    I have the same one, ELM327. The price is just ridiculous. It shouldn't be that cheap.

    The old model is one of the best FWD winter cars I have ever driven. Plenty of ground clearance and somehow it never loses grip in deep snow. Never got stuck in snow once in the 10 years of ownership.

    Agreed. You can make one look like a military van. There have been some builds here. One relevant thread:

    Welcome. I think it was the member named chong who did the hitch install himself. He can probably guide you.

    My local dealer (the only one, sole importer for Ford) is also terrible. I'm amazed they're still in business. Had my old diesel TC running bad. Went to the dealer, they read the codes and charged €65 for it. Told me to find a diesel shop to work on it as they have no idea what to do.

    ST Wheels

    mrtn replied to Dodgy's topic in Wheels & Tires

    Here's some more info on Mk1 wheel size combos: http://www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Ford/Transit Connect (2003 - 2013).html 225/40R18 would be the max size for your wheels.
