  1. I want to dress up my factory 2010 hubcaps with a colored ford logo like the one seen in this picture. Anyone know where to find a sticker that perfectly matches the size?
  2. Anyone know of a spray paint that matches matches the interior color of 2010-2013 TC? A matte finish paint so I can spray some damaged parts the matching color.
  3. Im wanting to replace my worn out steering wheel on my 2013 TC that has cruise control. On a OEM dealer website there are two steering wheels availble. One for Cruise and one for without. The one without is much cheaper. Can it work with my cruise parts? Here are links to the two wheels https://www.spford.com/parts-store/?path=%2Foem-parts%2Fford-steering-wheel-9t1z3600cb%3Fc%3DbD0yJm49U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM%3D https://www.spford.com/parts-store/?path=%2Foem-parts%2Fford-steering-wheel-9t1z3600ab%3Fc%3DbD0xJm49U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM%3D
  4. I just bought a 2010 transit connect. It been rebuilt after a front end collision. Im having two issues with it. Firstly, when the headlight switch it in the 12 oclock "OFF" position, the main headlight bulbs are eliminated. This is when the ignition is on. the rest of vans lights will be off in this position. The other two switch positions operate normally. I looked at the wires going into the headlight and it all looks normal. My previous TC didnt do this. Any idea what could cause this, and how to fix it? Also my drivers door lock makes a loud buzzing/grinding sound when i unlock the doors. It does it for about one second. Thanks in advance.
  5. I dont know specifically. Im just guessing that, because I know some foreign cars have to be changed to meet U.S. restrictions
  6. I want to share pics of my 2010 TC with Mk2 TC wheels on it. They bolt up perfectly. Same hub and offset specs. I feel they suit the boxy design perfectly. Have gotten allot of complements too.
  7. OK thanks. My guess is that the Euro lights didnt meet the American legal standards.
  8. Thanks. So is there any way to connect? Like splicing the wires of the connectors together? If i can do that, will the actual housing mount up, without modification? I saw on the European TC forums that people where installing them on the pre facelift TC.
  9. HI do the euro style taillights fit U.S. 2010 connect? The ones pictured here, with the honeycomb design reverse light I noticed the electrical connector is a different shape. If it mounts up good, is there a way to get it working with the different connector? The first 4 photos are the euro style light. The last photos is U.S. Thanks
  10. I have made an error in my original post. I thought my studs were too short, but its actually the lug nuts that came with the steelies, that were to short. The treads on the factory lug nuts start about a centimeter into the nut. Regular aftermarket lug nuts are able to go on the stud, 7 turns. I can delete this site thread, if thats suggested.
  11. Strange. Yea mine are all really short. I can only tighten the bolts a few turns. So just 2-3 treads catch. This was with a ford fusion alloy wheel
  12. Ive done it before with ET lug nuts. They have an extended shaft with threads. I just dont know if they are actually safe. I see allot of people put focus, and volvo wheels on their MK1's. I wonder what they are doing to fit it safely. This article link explains. https://help.summitracing.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4632/~/what-is-an-et-style-lug-nut%3F
  13. I have a 2010 transit connect. I want to put wheels from a new Focus or TC, on it. The wheel studs are too short, because they are designed for steel wheels. Is it safe to install my desired wheels? Which lug nuts do I use? I believe I need extended thread lug nuts. What is the thread size?
  14. Thanks for the tip. I would guess the fiesta wouldnt fit, because the TC is built on the focus platform. I will check out that FB page. Thanks
  15. Bump. I hope someone here would know if any of the newer steering wheels fit the 2010-2013 TC. I noticed the Newer ford focus steering wheel look very similar on the mounting design. I like the steering wheel on the second gen TC. I think it would really make the First gen look more modern inside. I understand that the airbag and buttons wont work. Thanks
  16. What about ford fusion wheels and tires, 17" and 18".The tires are bigger than focus. Im assuming that the factory tire size will be the same all styles. I felt the space between the TC factory wheels and the strut. They is very little space availble.
  17. HI, I have a 2010 Transit connect and want to know if anyone has put a newer generation ford steering wheel on and if it will fit? I want to do it because I think it would make the interior look allot more modern. Ive done this mod on other kind of cars before. Its ok if the cruise control dosnt work anymore. A steering wheel from any of the new Ford cars lineup, will be fine for me.
  18. Any of the factory size tires on the focus and fusion 18" wheels.
  19. Does anyone know if the new generation American Ford Fusion and Focus wheels fit 2010-2013 American TC? I see bolt specs are the same but Im concerned about rubbing, with the wider and taller tire width, than stock wheels.
  20. Is you overdrive off light on your dash? Sounds like overdrive is off. click the small button in the side of the shifter handle to turn it on
  21. I just purchased and measured my 2010 and from the floor to the heigh part of ceiling, is 53 inches. I even found in a TC brochure pdf, that says it's 59". So strange, I wonder where Ford got that figure from, because its defiantly only 53"
  22. Hi I have a 2010 transit connect that I want to upgrade the wheels on. I know that the previous generation Focus wheels fit it, but Im more interested in the modern wheel options. Are there any modern ford wheels that will fit on it with correct center bore, and offset? I like the wheels on newer focus, fusion, and fiesta. Thanks
  23. OK thanks, Im happy to hear that. Thats so much taller than the other vans in this class.
  24. It would be great if you made a thread with picture of the install. I saw a few threads of people asking this questing, but the only solution responded with was to drill wholes in floor and bolt down custom seats. One guy said a dealer had the option to put an aftermarket bench seat in he cargo version, but they drilled in the floor, and the seat was big and heavy.
