Hi all, just waiting on delivery of our first ever Territory. Trying to source a parcel shelf for under $160, any suggestions?

teampav · 08-01-2013, 08:24 PM

I'm Robbie,
I am helping out a mate who pulled apart his XE S pac in 2006. It is a factory 351 4speed and has those flares like greens tuff did in 83. It returned from the paint shop in early 2007 and we are now putting it back together. It has been on the back burner for a long time and for a while I thought it might never happen.

front end back in and on 4 wheels, rolled into the day light covered in dust and rat doo doos

I never saw the car before it was stripped as the engine succumbed to abuse weeks after my mate bought it. The engine came out and the body was to be painted and back on the road in a month or two
some pics of the re assembly so far ( late 2012 )
cheers
Robbie

Hi everyone, my Ford is a 1992 Falcon wagon which I've had for about 15 years. Its only recently started to develop an intermittent ignition problem, which I'm guessing is most likely the coil wearing out - any experience with this anyone?

Alpha_omega · 09-01-2013, 09:50 AM

Hi all, My name is Paul and I just bought a new ford focus sports hatch.
waiting for delivery at the moment, hope its soon.

Really like the build quality and gadgets etc. on the new Focus.

Hope to read and share the experiences of ownership on this forum

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

My name is Rick and I have just bought a really nice 2004 pursuit ute. I used to have a 1990 nissan 300zx and I was on the aus zx forum all the time. Great place to find advice, tips and help when you need it. Looking forward to the same here.

Thanks,

Rick.

lindaandnoel · 09-01-2013, 10:15 PM

Hi, just joined up and already need help! Our Ford AUII needs a new alternator - some people say forget DIY & go straight to a professional, others say anyone with a degree of mechanical knowledge can do it.
Does anyone out there have any step-by-step instructions they can pass on?
Cheers!

Hi,

br7206 here, first time owner of the blue oval, previously of the red lion brigade ...... just bought a 03' BA XR8 ute. If anyone has some tips or things to look out for it would be great.

thanks all

A66Ute · 10-01-2013, 06:27 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Forum but a long time Ford man. Bought my first XT Falcon at 16 for $50, 34 years ago, it came with a huge can of bog in the boot. I've had a few over the years and even built a Lowcost Clubman powered by a highly tuned 1600 Kent engine. We've just purchased a XP Falcon Ute that is an ex Army unit. Overall it is in good condition for its age and is a long term project. If anyone knows where the Fjord4 Clubman is I'd like to find out what has happened to it. Last known whereabouts was Canberra.
Looking forward to the Forum, A66Ute.

scotty86 · 10-01-2013, 06:52 PM

Hi All

Been on here about a year now, thought i should say hello instead of just sitting on the side lines drooling on the keyboard.

Own a BF Turbo Ute, slowly doing some upgrades when im not paying for petrol or damn zf transmission oil!!!

Currently upgrading sound and video, will document.

04Tezza · 11-01-2013, 12:49 PM

Hi,

I am the owner of a 2004 Ford Territory. I have browsed this forum on occasion for issues that have popped up on the car, but overall I have found it to be a robust, if a little loosely fitted, vehicle which of course, I always knew Fords to be! Anyway hope you're all having a happy new year. My task is replacing a dodgy fuel pump after the wife continued to let it run dry...

Regards
Tim

gday forum

Been in Australia (North Cairns) for a couple of years and so naturally I wanted an economical car with good air-con so brought a NL Fairlane (96) as a first Aussie car....... I had a small budget and the comfort of a big ride won out over sparsely trimmed Asian imports for the same money.

She's a little tatty round the edges and weeps a little after a long drive but she's sturdy enough and only recently has she given me cause to get my spanners out, but that post is for another part of the forum I guess.

Thanks for reading and Hello

janera · 11-01-2013, 09:19 PM
