Gday, just purchased a BA XR6T off a mate and looking to do some mods on top of top of the ones he's done already. This place has already proved quite useful.

Thumbs up Re: Welcome to New Members - Post here to say gday!

Hi there all, new to this sort of thing, Dads AU got written off about a month ago and l have bought him a replacement car, BA XR6 Turbo while he's on holidays.
Got it for a steal because it wasn't running right, after thinking it was coils and plugs which l was ready to change out anyways, it ended up that whoever did the last service on the car had disconnected the cam sensors and left them that way. "WIN" for me.
Just want to get this thing running nice.

Hi guys,

Getting my full license at the end of the year and planning to buy my first car, to replace the boring little 4-cylinder (under my dad's name) that I've been driving for the past four years.

All I'm interested in is a Falcon, so pretty sure I'm in the right place!

You blokes have come to the right place! Lots of great builds, tech articles and informative help on these forums.

I just realised I never posted here so Hi guys!! I'm not new anymore but can say this site has probably saved me over $2000 in mods on my car for dirt cheap prices and invaluable help that let helped me diagnose my own problems rather than paying a mechanic or sparky!!

Just watch out for the friday Hulk threads, they can be dangerous ;)

Hey all, my name is Aaron.

I have recently become a proud owner of a 2003 FPV BA GT-P (Manual).

Looking to meet and know other ford enthusiast who share the same passion.

Have noticed a few things that need to be fixed up, seems to be stalling on down changing gears using engine to slow down (over rev) its like it cutting out cylinders and cuts engine off however i am able to start again and drive, i have heard it could be a TPS or the ECU. From what i do know the Throttle Body has been pulled apart and cleaned and a few other things were replaced prior to me picking it up.

So just gotta trouble shoot to get rid of the problem.

Hi,I'm Ron,
This is my first foray into the world of fora.
I recently puchased a 09 territory as a tug for my van as I retired last year.
Used a Falcon at first but he Territory is fantastic doing its job.
But I tried to fit a reversing camera into the rear tail gate.
But can't seem to get a wire down to the reversing light, so it can power up the camera .
Please has anyone got any ideas as to how I can connect these two together.
Regards
Ron

Hi all,

Really glad to be onboard and thanks for the add. I'm looking forward to any tips or techniques the experienced guys have got. I always hear that the old cars are easy to work on, unfortunately for me the penny is yet to drop.

I've a '63 XL falcon ute, she's sporting a 170 and 3 speed manual. A daily driver and usually lugging a load of misc building materials or motor bikes.

I'm really hoping for a bunch of repair and maintenance tips from the wealth of experience that is on the forum.

Thanks again for the add.
