G'day all.

I found your forum while looking for fixes for the girlfriends trusty old EL Fairmont a few months back...and I found some very useful guidance...thanks.

I loved to drive her car so much that I bought my own EL Fairmont...except mine is lowered with SSS King springs and Monroe gas shocks...has had Tickford bottom end and cam fitted...a really, really powerful sound system installed and is in much better overall condition despite some flaws.

So I decided I should join the forum and try to participate...and find more info on the vehicles from those with the experience to know...or at least are able to have an educated guess...what the problem may be.

I have had a few fords before, my favourite being a tango orange XB that was beautiful to look at and drive with its specially installed lowered suspension, altered interior and tricked motor. My next favourite was a 2 litre Cortina believe it or not...raised heavy duty suspension and tricked motor but ugly as sin...used generally as an off road vehicle of all things...then silly me thought I could replace it with another Cortina...I called it the mintie because it was green and I replaced so many panels with white ones it looked like a mintie wrapper.

In descending order of personal mortification I also had a 1.3 litre escort panel van as a learner and p-plater for interpersonal entertainment purposes and fishing wagon...a 6cyl EF sedan 1 previous owner as a commuter with my young family and an XA 302 sedan that nearly killed me when the brakes failed at 90mph when I was 20...in a 60K zone.

Anyway...enough rambling

Nice to meet you all
