TempGLS,
Although you have used a sub-forum entitled "Ford Transit Connect General Discussion", it is located on the Transit Forum. Two completely different vehicles, mistakenly sharing the name Transit. Most of the forum members here are Transit owners or purchasers.
I hope you find some answers to your questions but you should probably look for a forum more focused on TC's.
