G'day... Had an 06 model Turbo for the past three years or so... just started using this forum to fix the (amazingly annoying) turbo oil feed filter fault. My batism of fire into home mechanic-ing. Actually, it's been really interesting and ... fun?

Howdy all

The Forum has been a great help keeping the BA Falcon Ute on the road over the years. However, just traded it for a new XR 6 Ute Limited Edition.

Hi, my family has been ford fans while I was the odd one (having liked Holden) out until recently I was influenced by my parents to like Ford. Perhaps a bit too much interaction with ford fans at V8 supercars events lol.

Thought I might join in the forums as I will be taking delivery of a 2012 Ford Focus trend. And that my father is also a member here as well

Cheers, Jason.

Hi Bagt-p634. Quite a few forum members now own GTP's. There is a heap of information on them in the performance section.

Hi ford kaos. Posting pics is relatively easy. Check under site support as there are a few threads showing you different ways to post them up

Hi Amee and welcome to the forum. I see you have posted your question in the AU to BF section and have had some helpful members help you already. Great forum isn't it

Good to see so many of you introducing yourselves.

Cheers

KennyK · 26-08-2012, 12:18 PM

Hello All,

Just introducing myself as the new owner of a 2002 AU III Futura wagon fitted with a dual fuel system. My first experience with LPG and I look forward to this forum helping me understand the ins and outs of it.

Just finished a 14 year ride in a '94 ED wagon; prematurely stopped after someone rear-ended it. I was impressed by its engineering. After 420,000 Km, I still didn't need to buy oil between oil changes. I will be very happy if the AU III does as well.

mike40sydney · 26-08-2012, 06:23 PM

hi guys and gals im a newbie here . i have a r6 lpg fg cab chasis and now looking to upgrade to the new series 2 xr6 on gas.regards mike

DJTNarellan · 26-08-2012, 10:44 PM

Just signed up to the site and thought id introduce my self my Name is Dale
only a young bloke and as fords go im into the E series from EA to EL just recently purchased an AU which is a tad different to me but seems to be good so far apart from a few minor problems which im told is classic AU Fairmont series 1 problems im sure ill try trouble shot questions for you guys every now an then.
Cheers Dale

PlatinumPlumbin · 27-08-2012, 11:52 AM

Gday All

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask a tech question if not can you direct me to where is!!!

Own a Plumbing company one of my recent purchases was BA 2003 falcon ute Cab chasis, 4.0l LPG no abs. The ute has XL tool body on the back.
The problem is its heavy and doesnt stop well, you need to apply fair amount of pedal then locks the front tyres, as rear brakes are doing virtually nothing.

Want to upgrade rears to territory rotors ect for extra braking capabilities, there is no fear of locking the rears as i have heaps of weight 1.1tons.
Do the territory rear brakes fit easily on the BA with 17"s without to much mods?
Appreciate any help thank you.

happynev · 27-08-2012, 04:16 PM

Hi everyone.. I am here to try and find out what causes a battery to go flat on an Falcon AU overnight can anyone help me please. I look forward to getting to know some or all of you on here, Bye for now. Nevil

pechimi · 27-08-2012, 05:05 PM

Greetings Ford Forum users . . . !

I bought a BA Falcon from some dodgy international student truckies in the middle of the night out past Koriot Creek Rd.

2 days later the transmission popped.

Can I put an AU transmission in the place of a BA transmission?

Peter
