I've found this forum real handy and thought I would join. The old girl is in a thousand pieces atm so you will probably hear from me real soon lol... Thanks in advance 😊

Hi to all in the best country in the world. My name is Ren and I'm feeling pretty happy and privileged to be accepted into our Ford community. I am the happy owner of a 2009 Ford Fg XR6. It was standard when I bought much trusted machine. I ordered her in the Seduce metallic pearl with full leather, premium sound, tech and tow packs and the XR6 Turbo 18's. I'm exceptionally proud to say I have never had a thing go wrong. Reliable and an all round excellent piece of Australian built motor vehicle. Over the years I have added or changed various types of Wheels, paint, exterior and interior bodyaccessories even engine mods. Seeing as this is only my intro I'll leave it there, but I will definitely upload some pics of my machine and showing the changes I've mentioned. So again hi and I really hope that we can get some good chats going and that as much as I'll help anyone with any info or recourse I have, I can count on getting a hand and info from you all. Talk again and keep bleeding New Ford blue.😉

Onyuz!

[Trailblaser]

Hi all, joined the forum mainly because we have just acquired a 85 Bronco 351 V8, that I reckon will need a little work over time, and it looks to me that the forum is a great source of info and mutual support, my first job will be to work out how to fix a sagging hood lining !! so if anyone can help, that would be good.

I own a 2011 FPVF6 I've just had some work done to the car like a 4 inch dump pipe and 3.5 inch exhaust with a custome tune . Wow amazing power on the dyno it shows 451 hp at wheels and. 336 kW at wheels great car to drive .

Hello everyone,

After years of thinking about buying a ute - I finally went for a 1997 Ford Courier 2.6 EFI. Loving the drive , just like it used to be - no power steering , no air and a good 30 minute drive turns my liver into a smoothie with all the bouncing up and down- love it.

A few issues - oil leak under the rocker arm cover / coolant leak ( not sure from where) - having tracked down a Haynes manual 61030 Mazda Pick- ups 1972-1993 there is not a lot on the 2.6 EFI. Does anyone know whether there is a supplement? Or anywhere else I can go for more info on the 2.6 EFI?

All help appreciated.

every good wish,

David.

[kiragus]

Hi All,
I am a new forum member looking to pick up info and advice on a few things and thought the best option would be to join you guys.
My whole family is Ford related, although my daily driver is a Captiva (company supplied vehicle) I have a 1967 Mustang and a 1957 Thunderbird which both get plenty of weekend cruising in the warmer Melbourne months.
My wife drives a focus XR5 and two sons both have XR6 Falcons.
Anyway, I hope to get some great value from this forum and will post a couple of questions in the appropriate section.
Regards to you all,
Kiragus

[Adamfpv88]

Hello my name is Adam and I'm an alc...wait, wrong club.

I have an 2008 fg f6 ute build no 0018.
Bought it two years ago second hand and like a moron, payed for the 5 year extended warranty, which I am just about to void. Trying to go the safe and sensible way. It already has a gt bonnet, super pursuit bucket seats, no decals at all and black everything inside and out(apart from gunmetal dark argents and raccoon eyes. I just dropped it off at pedders to get super low and a camber kit and I am in the process of restoring it completely to look brand spankers body and paint wise which is a breast with black paint! The plans are though:
Deep dish 20"s that fill the guards, plazmaman battery relocation and turbo side intake, stage 2 or 3 intercooler and piping, gearbox service and separate cooling unit added/heat transfer box scrapped. 4"cat, and then time to call xft and get the stage one package maybe with valve springs if I need them. Hopefully should be complete in the next few weeks will put some pics up as I go. And I'm going to wrap the car myself with a grey matte metallic. And then that's is it untill next tax time, thankyou all for reading I look forward to being in the ford community!

[Ando81]

Hi all, am a newbie here. Keen to hear all of your stories and share what little wisdom I may have, Justin

[Sambot]

Hey Guys and Gals,

I'm new here. Just wanted to say that since I've joined I have found the site very useful in assisting to diagnose clunks and rattles in my ba xr8 ute...

Just wanted to say thanks for keeping such a great helpful site up and running. I'm looking forward to many years of happy ford driving. I've had loads of cars but this is my first ford. I'm loving the unique rumble of my cammed v8... In the upper revs it sounds amazing!!! Just needs a dyno tune... Possibly in the coming weeks...

Thanks again for the great site!

Sambot

[Mikefinnie]

Glad I found this great site! My "Fords" are a 1993 Capri Clubsprint and a 1994 Fairlane NC Ghia. Perhaps someone can help with a little mystery? The petrol door on the Fairlane NC appears to be missing a contact on the inside of the door. Even when closed the warning arrow is lit on the dash. There are four lugs and I'm sure something should be there to make contact with the sensor. Can anyone help and tell me what should be there and how to fix it. Thanks Michael

[EdRoth66]
