Ex-tech · 22-01-2013, 12:56 PM

G'day, first post.

I've owned an XW Wagon and an EB Fairmont in the past. No Fords at the moment but will be looking for an FG XR6 once the Mrs car (Disco td5)is paid off.

I started my apprenticeship at a Ford dealer in 1986 when XF's were new and last worked as a tech in 2003 when BA's first came out.

I've owned plenty of cars including a few Holdens. I'm part way through restoring an EH atm.

My specialties were diagnosing fuel injection and auto trans problems. Happy to answer any questions that I can still remember how to solve!
Cheers Dave

hi everybody
i have a ford territory 2006 ghia turbo and have sold my f6 typhoon
i do have a problem that somebody may have an idea
driving along in the terri the traction control light abs light and warning light all come on and the 6 speed trans went into limp mode
it did it several times before i managed to get it to do it at home when it did i checked the battery the muti meter read 16.6 volts at idle and the battery was showing signs of boiling other than the alternator overcharging does anybody have any ideas??? i am replacing the alternator and battery today so hoping that will fix it.
i also own a 1963 1/2 galaxie with a 410 c.i small block windsor and 4 speed i love it

shelby 350 · 22-01-2013, 08:37 PM

Hello, my name is Mick and I have always owned fords and still do. My very first car I bought off my grand father, which he bought new, when I was 19 years old and I still have it and I am now 53 .The car is a 1970 xw ute which I used for work for some 19 years as a builder which I then took off the road and restored 14 years ago. Still a beautiful car, 302 v8 etc. We also have a 1965 mustang fastback 350 shelby clone and daily drivers are 2006 ford territory and a 2011 ford dual cab Ranger. Definately ford people. We have owned a variety of cars over the years but always end up back with fords. I am sure this forum will be beneficial to me with all the experience I see here on these pages so a big hello from lea and mick.

baste · 22-01-2013, 08:45 PM

Hi all. My name is Ted and I've been poking around this forum for a while as a guest and figured it was time to say hello. Have a V8 AU ute and a Territory Diesel. Had Ford's all my life - from Anglia, through Cortina's and a heap of Falcon's including a Phase III HO in the 70's, so I have blue blood.
If anyone has any ideas about how to make my AU stop as well as the Territory, I would love to hear from you.
Regards and happy new year to all, Ted

Les011 · 22-01-2013, 09:14 PM

Dollar D · 23-01-2013, 01:28 AM

Hello All, We have a mk2 Escort (1980) that has been in the family for 3 generations. First purchased by Nan in the 80s then passed onto dad and now in our hands. Its in mostly original condition and is what I would call grandpa spec. We are going to keep it looking original but will definitively upgrade suspension, brakes and performance.

See you all in the forums.

Snowy Mountains · 23-01-2013, 07:48 AM

I have a 1995 EF sedan. Yesterday the battery died (it was about 5 years old) and I got a new one from NRMA. Anyway, on the way home I noticed that the battery waraning light kpet flickering and then came on permanently. Does this indicate that the alternator is buggered? Or could it be the belt?

Also, about 6 weeks ago I hit a kangaroo. It went straight under the right-hand front wheel and didn't seem to do much damage. However, the next day a plastic pipe 50mmm in diameter about 530 long and shaped like a "z" or lightning bolt dropped out into the wheel arch. It took it out and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Does anyone know what it is and what purpose it serves? It has a rectangular fitting at one end but the other end is round with a flange (looks like a cam). Anyone know what it is?

Testing testing one, two, three.

c615362 · 23-01-2013, 04:12 PM

coupe boy · 23-01-2013, 10:35 PM

Hi all I've been a member for about a year but never posted anything so here goes I'm from melbourne and have an XB coupe been restoring it on and off for about 15 years thanks to dodgy panel beaters which have set me back a few years and thousands of dollars. So I'm looking forward to posting some pics and getting your feedback.

Why are you worried about issues with the ignition on Terri as never heard have any problem with it unless someone want to steal the car with screw driver will not work

Anyway good luck with new Territory
