Been running around in this connect for a few days now.

The only problems to sort out are :-

Aux drive belt idler pulley rumbles, so replacement required. - I have one on order
Possible slight leak from CSC :? - although brand new one was fitted with clutch. So gearbox will have to come out again to confirm if CSC is leaking & replace it. :(
Front N/S suspension feels too soft - suspect weak suspension strut. - Easy to sort. Bagged these from 2012 Connect T230 LWB - They should be stiffer :wink:

Other than above I'm pleased with it's performance.
With plenty of power, I can over take lorries now without having to change down a gear, just put me foot down :mrgreen:

Plus I have 2014 maps on order from Ford for satnav :wink:

I did see that one but I'm in London so long old trot for me to get it, also my engine has a rather large hole in the front of of it ( auction site said it "has oil leak" hmmm so when removing it I turned the turbo fan and that locks up after a few spins so may need turbru too. Have found a local breakers with complete engine for £400 but needed to know where to look for code . Will post some pics as soon as I work out how!


will a tddi engine from a 2001 focus be any good to you, maybe paul could let you know

why have some posts been deleted when it was obvious that the op has been at best a bit liberal with the truth,and at worst telling deliberate lies,i've never seen a vat rate of 6% which was shown on a dodgy invoice which has magically disappeared :|
be good if an explanation could be given
