The cluster problems are common. I had mine repaired because one power pin was broken.

Fair enough. This might be the first time I have heard anyone disagreeing on insulation and amplification tho.

Replacing speakers will only improve the sound marginally. You should also insulate the doors with plenty of tar mat (3 layers + anchoring to the safety beam). This has more effect than new speakers alone. I suppose you are not going to add an amplifier either?

Any auto electrician would patch it up for your for a fraction of the price. It's a rather simple junction box and pretty damn water tight. Does it light up any codes?

In the US Ford only introduced the long wheelbase/high roof model. It was also available short/low in Europe. No other length/height combos.

What do you need? I have both, Mk1 & Mk2 LWB.

The plugs for the vans without the roof rack are a step back from the Mk1 where they were screw-in type and tight. The new ones are single use clips and have no method of tightening. Just hope they sit tight enough to block leakages.

I think I have read about it (3-4 speed only) in UK forum. Can't recall.

Did you check the plug? I had the plug molten due to high load (stuck pollen filter)

Get a backup camera. The Best thing ever.

Screen saver?

The alternator must be able to charge both.

Good input, well appreciated.

jrm223, the side of the pond or LostInTransit's psychosis has no significance here. Transit Custom does not exist in the US and number of seats is irrelevant. I know you mixed up Transit/Tourneo Connect and try to resolve it with a meaningless attack when I explained the difference in detail.

Not exactly: Transit Connect is a compact cargo van Transit Connect Kombi is a lower/mid trim level variant with seats of various configurations Tourneo Connect is a passenger van version with a liftgate and mid-high trim level Titanium), various interior color combos. Transit Custom is a midsize van/m inibus up to 9 passengers or a big cargo space. Transit is a full size cargo or passenger van/bus

And to be really precise that isn't even Transit Connect, it's Transit Custom.

Errrr, what? :D The only RHD countries in Europe are Cyprus, Malta, Great Britain + Ireland + channel islands.

That's new. Zetec was an engine family used in Escorts and other small cars.

I have used the same nuts for both with no issues on both my old Connects. So not much help here. I see you have "Zetec" engine listed in your profile. Are you sure it's not Ecoboost?

LPG and other variants are widely available in every other station. One is a few miles from my house. I don't think there is any extra tax on it. Everything is included in the fuel price. Socialist are not in charge yet so no aux road tax. Cargo vehicles (vans, pickups, lorries) get full sales tax return on running costs. The toroid tank is 65L (17 US gal) IIRC.

I'm not sure where to get the parts breakdown?

The pic is from the internet and it's from a Transit Custom. Could not find one for the Connect but it looks identical.

€2300 incl installation. 18 month breakeven point for me.

The top of the instrument cluster lifts up and there a storage compartment with a 12V socket.
