  1. We get it, we get it. Beautiful wheels, btw.
  2. That depends on the installation. Most factory CNG machines have a small petrol tank just for backup. If yours has an add-on CNG tank then it is perfectly usable for both with an extended range. There's no disadvantage to using petrol fuel other than what you mentioned. I'm running LPG and it's roughly half the cost of petrol use. Fuel price is .476 vs 1.046 per liter as of today.
  3. My 1.6 is LWB so it's just a marketing issue.
  4. Quality UV-laminated print will last for 5+ years, no discoloration.
  5. Me neither. Stuff's always rolling on the floor.
  6. I'll be relining mine soon. Tar mat first, then aluminum composite plates on top. Should protect the bare metal parts from dents from inside out. Should also help with noise levels.
  7. Most have barn doors here. Liftgates are rare and exclusive to passenger vans.
  8. Ok, looked at some detailed pics, looks like these are just hooks for grocery bags. The same one is in the middle console, passenger side of the front seat.
  9. No it's not possible. Mazda has 2.3 for the turbo, 2.5 is a stroker for easy going.
  10. My Mk1 had OEM storage bins with nets there.
  11. 10K mile interval is perfectly ok. The new fullsize Transit has 30K mile service intervals for diesel engines and diesel has much more load on the oil. So with today's oils a gasoline engine will do just fine at 10K. I did 10K intervals for my 2006 diesel and it hadn't consumed a drop of oil until the day I sold it. Used Ford-spec quality oil only (Motorcraft/Fuchs/Valvoline/Motul).
  12. TC are filled with fully synthetic in the factory. No need for initial change, just normal schedule.
  13. The recommendation for not towing is just related to the Focus engine/transmission combo Ford found in the parts bin for the US model. The body is perfectly good for towing so you can install the lift with no issues if you have room for it.
  14. Who cares, what the wife thinks of a man's van
  15. Interesting. I have noticed two weird faults: sometimes speakers don't make a beep, back on after power cycle sometimes, when switching on the headlights, the radio console is completely dark, lights up when adjusting the dash illumination
  16. Are there anything on satellite that isn't available in iTunes/RSS/Spotify/Google Play for free?
  17. Haven't heard of any Connects with a separate factory amp, so most likely your head unit is integrated. You just got the best reason ever to upgrade your stereo
  18. I bet it has a different starter. You'd also have the system off in hot and freezing weather as it won't be able to cool or heat the cabin when the engine is off. Not sure if there's a separate battery and circulation to run the A/C and heater from while the engine is off.
  19. The TC box is so slow to engage I think it would be more of an annoyance Lots of honking, I'd imagine. I did not get one with the system, saw it in the show room, there was a button in the dash labeled (A) for turning it off in case it gets old.
  20. There are great different colors with different metallic and flake effects available in wrapping vinyl catalogs, glossy and matte. The latter will be more expensive as you can't really have visible seams as they show more than the glossy ones. So you need to use more vinyl to complete it. Also the paintwork under the matte vinyl must be immaculate. European passenger/liftgate models are called Tourneo exclusively. Trim levels go up to Titanium. Barn doors are on Transit models only.
