It would, but you could also find some Rip stop tape in the correct color that would also do the job.

The seat are fastened to the car at the front . There are two Torx bolts per foot on each seat. The LWB seat moves forward but is does not tip. http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/topic/4109-converted-2015-lwb-wagon-into-a-van/ This is a very good Thread on the seat subject

Well The Small van market in Europe is much better developed. I see a Fiesta van from Ford EU and a lot of the small vans available for you would be the shopping cart parking stalls in the mall here! -
40 lbs is 90% so 90% of the tire load would be 1240 per tire. Now weigh the van and you will have your answer And Yes i am pleasantly surprised at the load rating of your tires

Yes the Drivers Arm rest will have to go if the glove box arm rest is used.

True no Battleships, But E71TGS .035 wire will do a nice job up to 3/16 Thick on 110 to 120 amps , Very smooth and gives you a great second welding tool . You already have the hard part the welder. -

True , My Mix is 75-25. If you can switch the polarity of your machine they make a great gas less wire that works for a lot things and makes the welder go anywhere! -

Wire Feed?, Here's something to look forward to, When you get old you shrink so you will fit in the new one better -
Check The load rating number on the tire and that is what it can carry safely at 44 Lbs. Find a Transfer station or salvage yard and put your TC on the Scale and then you can see what the load is and adjust the pressure. When you have a tire come apart on the interstate it gives you a whole new restpect for tire pressures.

Mrtn if they use as much salt or road deicer on the Estonian roads as here you will be getting a new one at some point. -
Mine is a 2014 Xlt wagon most of the time it is me and 600 lbs of tools. my 24500 total miles the average is 25.3 . I run 40 lbs in the tires,if I run under that the tire pressure warning tends to come on. The 215-55-16 on my rig have a 97H . With a load rating of just over 1600 lbs. As the side wall on these tires is limited in height running them soft makes them more vulnerable to road hazards than they already are. The Oem tire for your TC is P205/65R15 95T XL This is a 1521 max load tire at 50 Lbs. If the tires on your TC have a max pressure of 44 lbs they are lighter duty then the Oem, these have a 908-1200 Lbs max load . These tires do not want to be run soft on your TC . Check the max load rating on the tires you have , Make sure the dealer did not save money at your expense

It should not be an issue but on select TC's the left half shaft seal can quietly leak. The way to check the Fluid is not convenient, and often over looked. This could lead to a low level. If the level is proper then it could be the computer in the car getting use to your driving habits. I always check the level first because one of the major causes of Automatic transmission Shifting problems is the fluid level.

Thanks but I was hoping for Megazones info.

How many miles, Have you checked the fluid level.

Purchasing a New 16TC - XLT
G B L replied to Daniel Eoin Duarte's topic in Buying, Leasing, Ordering & Owner Impressions
The seats fold completely flat on the LWB version. Here is a window sticker for an XlT to show what the standard features are. Because of the full head liner the sound proofing is much better. The headliner does make the addision of a Roof rack harder, So if you want a rack get a TC with that option from the factory. http://fordtransitconnectforum.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=616 -
MK2 TC (2014 up) COILOVERS completed !
G B L replied to CAGE B8's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Nice job, when the info becomes available update the Post. The ability to raise the Front and Rear is the most interesting part . Looking forward to more Information. Again Thanks- 33 replies

Correct , The plug is forward of the left half-shaft. The engine wants to be hot and Running in park or neutral the oil should just be at the hole. If you pull the bolt out with the engine off , a lot of fluid pours out of the hole. The fill on the Top of the transmission near the left end of the Cam and Valve cover.
