Your vehicle warranty should cover you for repairs until 2009.

I thought all Connects sold since 2005 had 3 years free servicing added too?

I dont think you will find a manual/book only TIS discs from ebay etc, or Etis which you have to sign up to

Some had the free servicing as part of the sales package, let me have the reg/chassis number and will check to see if it has it

[Lefty64]

Yep.

I'm certain that 3 years free servicing has been running as the standard Ford promotion every sales quarter since 2005 on Connects sourced from main dealers. Was on my 2005 SWB, and is on my current 2007 LWB.

I've never known it not to be part of the deal until the current quarter (July - Sept 2008) where it seems to have been dropped. Sales are pretty healthy this year (8000 Connects so far according to their website) so I can see why.


Check your van's Reg No. with a Ford dealer. You might be pleasantly surprised.

This is what led me to finding this forum. I did a Google search for Transit Connect manuals. I even looked on the Haynes Manual site and they don't do them.

I guess Ford have the market pretty much sown up. If there are no Repair manuals available, does this mean that people will HAVE to take their vehicle to Ford dealers after the warranties run out?
