Hiya, I'm Bella, I've had a few fords over the years, my first car was an XA sedan, another was an XD V8 panel van, now my new girl is an AUII 75th Anniversary Futura. I've been reading thru the forums looking for info about her lil quirks and how to look after her.

This is her. My intent is to keep her looking beautiful as she is, stock, with some select mods to make her jump when I put my foot down and handle better. Anyways, cya later

Hi all,

I've owned a few Fords - XW panel van; XB panel van; XD panel van; Ford Transit; 78 LTD; EB Fairmont white; EB Fairmont Green & currently a 2013 XR6T. Guess that makes me a Fordie - what to do to spice up the turbo?

G'day all,

I've had a few Fords over the years- an XC Falcon ute 3 on the tree 250 crossflow, XD Fairmont, XC Fairmont GXL 302 and an EF XR 6, but I've been Fordless and off in the wilderness for more years than I'd care to admit.
That's all going to change in November when the 6 speed manual FG X XR8 arrives .
This looks like a fantastic forum with lots of good info that I'm sure I'll be making plenty of use of and thanks for adding me.
Cheers,

Andy

Hi all, just purchased a 2005 Fiesta 3-door with 100k on clock from auctions due to having rear bumper damage. Going to get her back on the road (hopefully with not much to do) and use as my daily driver. Anyone else with a Fiesta have any little upgrades I could acquire? Im not the biggest fan of the seat. Anyone know of any direct bolt-in options? Thanks

Hi there everyone.
I have just bought a 2004 Ford Territory and have noticed that when Dual Air con is set to 23 Degrees it is cooler on the driver side then the passenger side.
Both equally cold or hot when set to Max Hot or Cold.
Can anyone help me with this
Thanks

Hi. I currently own a 1970 ZC fairlane and a 2003 Ford Explorer. I found your forum after searching the net for information regards cracks that have developed in the plastic panel below the explorer's back window. After seeing it is a common problem that is caused by poor design by Ford I'm pretty disappointed though I really like the car. Thanks for adding me, Scott.

That's a very open ended question Jon dependant on both the state of the engine and your driving style.

Probably the best places to ask is either the 'X' series forum...........
http://www.fordforums.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=86

or the Post Classic forum..........

I don't do social media at all. But i have recently bought a 2005 ba ute with the 3v 5.4
And while she is not the tidiest thing around I'm loving all the same
So will be on here trying to get info on tuning as well as the general ins and outs of owning
One. I come from a six cylinder family we mostly played with hemis before i moved town so now its just me
Any help or suggestions on were to look or who to talk to would be appreciated
I am based i Toowoomba qld so hope to eventually take it to willowbank and maybe join a local car club
Look forward to picking everyones brains and hopefully learning a thing or eight.

Hi,
I'm finally getting serious about owning a muscle car. I was going to wait for the new Mustang but my head and heart are pulling me towards a second hand FPV GT-E Boss 335. Like many, I'm new to forums so will try to learn the etiquette. Once I am an owner I will put up the car details.

Hello all.
I have been re-building an XA/XB coupe for many years now.
As I get near completion I thought it time join your site for the wealth of information people have that may make my job easier.

Hopefully I may be able to help in return.

Regards Andy

Hi everyone, haven't posted for a while. I've got a XY Falcon 4x4 with front discs, 289 Windsor and toploader that I was threatening to do some upgrades on a couple of years ago. Well they're finished and I don't know why I didn't do them years ago!! I finally put a XA power steering box in and factory air-conditioning (Selectaire) and for You XY 4x4 owners out there - definitely do the power steering conversion it's a peach! For you enthusiasts I've only done what the next years model would have offered if Ford would have continued to build them!
