    Do they work? If yes, only use them in case of a really thick fog. They're really bright, brighter than brake lights and blind others easily.

    Yes. The roof and nothing but the whole roof.

    The UK forum has gotten considerably quieter lately as most interaction is taking place in facebook. Looks like the error code is Ford-wide. Another model solution should work in your case as well.

    Doesn't it start anymore at all? You may have a broken reader coil around the key barrel. Mine flashes some code every once in a while (worn key/barrel) but always starts at the next try.

    Rear fogs. Probably not required in the US. Try pulling the light switch outwards when the lights are switched on and check.

    Imperial gallons?

    There should not be any problems with the swap if you have all the listed parts. $700 sounds really expensive for a used transmission. I bought mine (did a TC manual-Focus manual swap as mine was showing some wear at 250,000 km) for $180.

    Me too, that's why I need to think how to do it. Factory look all the way. I'm thinking of an energy chain to carry the cable under the top or bottom slider. I have the standard oval Ford 6000 CD (Fiesta/Focus/TC/Mondeo/Fusion), which they did not sell in the US: http://car-solutions.com/nfs/product/856529/file/6000cd_round.jpg Plenty for sale in ebay. You also need a matching oval adapter plate.

    Don't do it myself but follow a relevant topic in another forum.

    The rear brakes are a bit weak even when in specs. Had way too much brake jobs done, not too expensive tho.

    I think I need a reboot. You are correct, no Titanium in the van variant.
  13. mrtn
    Looks like we have Trend or Titanium. This one is Trend, so XL probably.

    I have no idea. It does not say.
  15. mrtn
    How do you determine that?

    Hmm, this is listed as 2016:

    The "xy plate" system is only used in Britain. No-one else can figure out the model year from it.

    I'm pretty sure he meant me, as I am probably the most vocal European here. I declined joining his new network he invited me to in private. Very politely declined. Still, it must've been too much.

    I installed a camera. Took care of the backing up issue.

    The link does not work anymore because he keeps deleting his posts and later claiming his account was hacked. Looks like his meltdowns come every few months. Look, LostInTransit, if the whole world looks wrong to you then it may not be the world that's wrong.

    I wonder what happened to the ABS based tire pressure sensing, phasing out? It's probably not as precise as valve sensors but will alert you when there's a circumference change in the wheel.

    I have a portable 12V compressor for emergency use, about the size of a 1.5 liter bottle. Could probably be used for this kind of application. Attach to the top of the bulkhead together with an extra fire extinguisher when not in use.

    It's a hopeless case.
  24. mrtn
    That's aftermarket but rigid nonetheless. Someone will definitely buy it from you. I am looking for a "new" Gen1 ('12-13) with a rigid bulkhead and most LWB in Germany (where there are a lot for sale) are equipped with the cage type divider.

    I have rear speakers in my '12 and, TBH, the rear space is big and hollow and the stock rear speakers don't sound right, too much echo and reverb. I haven't really given it a thought how to fix it but I started with complete front door sound insulation and speaker replacement. The sound stage improved drastically. The next thing is to amplify it and I'm sure the rear speakers are useless by that time. I'll probably check how to wire the sliding doors and put upgraded rears there.
