  1. Euro guys flip the rear axle around so it would sit on top of the spring leaf.
  2. You might have better luck in UK forum. Americans don't get the diesel.
  3. The new one just looks less boxy but it actually is. It's not lost any of the utility. LWB model will be much longer than the current LWB. The 1.6 liter auto we get is thirsty (21 mpg urban), so it'll be rare amongst utility van users. It's ok for the passenger model.
  4. Do you only get the barn doors in the US? There's also a liftgate version with full width window in Europe.
  5. The key is to keep the guides as clean as possible. Remove all silicone and lubricants. The only possible thing to use is technical vaseline.
  6. Looks like vinyl wrap. The bottom edge of the mirror wrap has detached.
  7. You always recognize a swede or a norwegian from a battery of aux lights.
  8. I have. No system crash after a meal.
  9. Saw some cool ones here: http://fordtransit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=134533
  10. Wheelbases and trim levels/combinations. The important question is whether you need a SWB/low roof or LWB/high roof.
  11. Looked like they were from the same fleet :P
  12. US: Apparently Q1/2014. It'll be over here in 2 months. I'm going to place an order next week when they get the concrete configuration lists.
  13. Fullsize, yes, TC will be built in Spain.
  14. The most important thing: vinyl graphics. the TC screams for it.
  15. No, we don't get any urea injections here. In cars, that is.
  16. No, just cat + DPF. The newer vDPF is some kind of vaporizer DPF which' work principle I am not aware of.
  17. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Transit_Connect Height: Pre–2009 SWB: 1,814 mm (71.4 in) LWB: 1,981 mm (78.0 in) 2010– LWB: 2,014 mm (79.3 in) 2010– SWB: 1,815 mm (71.5 in)
  18. They would if US would not have too strict emission requirements. I'll go gas with my next TC (the 2014 model) but only because of the auto box. Other than that, I love the diesel model. 500 miles between fillups is nice. I average 40 mpg, mostly city driving.
  19. The cone will be off the center of the door grill, because the OEM speaker is really close to the rigid frame parts.
  20. I cut the door sheet metal to fit 5x7" ovals, which was no problem. It really depends on the magnet size more than the diameter.
