  1. It's available here. I have cheked it out and it's a wierd machine. Narrow, long, upright seating position to the point of being uncomfortable. Too much like the 90s vans. Large boot tho. Doesn't look to be a good seller.
  2. White is always the best base for business graphics unless you have other kind of stylebook, such as UPS or similar. I had to wrap mine to get rid of the red paint:
  3. It reminds me more of Citroen Berlingo than Honda Element:
  4. In what circumstances did it blow and how? The 4-speed auto is probably a very old model anyway. A weird choice for a small displacement engine.
  5. I have a 6-speed Mazda 6 GT for the same reason 8) Being a family man, a Mustang would be no go.
  6. Truck tires are not as smooth and nice to drive as passenger car tires the Connect is matched to.
  7. In EU we can have any tire on the Connect as long as the size and load rating matches. I was just having the MOT done and the inspector was a bit surprised they don't require C-tires on a van with 900 kg load capability.
  8. My squeaks came from the rear stabilizer bar bushings. Sounded like a century old leaf spring.
  9. Don't know about the relay but is it consuming any oil? My bike has the same symptoms but it's lost some cylinder pressure. Does the glow plug indicator light up? With the ignition and stay on for a few seconds?
  10. There are replacement fascias with a 2DIN opening available.
  11. Aren't the plug wells sealed from the top?
  12. You can go bigger one or two profile indexes, depending on the model you get. Be sure to get street oriented models, not the ones popular among track people, these have too stiff sidewalls.
  13. The clock losing time is a known fault and there's no cure AFAIK. Mine loses a few minutes a month. Don't remember how much exactly.

    Computer Errors

    I'm pretty sure there are no big old Transit owners on this site. It may just be a lack of maintenance. When were the filters last changed? MAF and MAP cleaned? Is it running hot or cold?

    Introduction

    You have a list of problems?

    If your clutch is all the way up and the revs raise under a load, then it's definitely the clutch system that's acting up. Smoke coming from the front tyres may also explain this

    Hello folks.

    We need pictures.
  18. It may be that the gas cap is different for the NA. Mine's been acting normal since new.
