My name is Owen. Keenly waiting for the delivery of Focus 2020 ST. The car is currently on the wharf in Fremantle.

The Ford Focus ST 2020 were built in the Ford Saarlouis plant in Germany, trucked to Zeebrugge, Belgium and loaded on the Ro-Ro vessel Tamerlane. The ship then went to UK, Spain, USA, Panama, Auckland, Brisbane (19 Mar), Port Kembla (22 Mar), Melbourne (24 Mar) and then Fremantle (29th March. I was advised yesterday (7th April) that due to reduced numbers of wharfies, the cars are back logged and have not been released from the wharf. Ford cannot give any idea when the cars will be released to the dealerships. Anyone have an update on expected delivery?

Gday forum members!

UK's first Ford Endeavour (Everest) Titanium 4x4 seven seater SUV personal import!

I shipped my SUV from Odisha, East India purchased new 3 years ago. Fantastic drive so far to DVSA in Southampton and Norwich in England as part of DVLA's registration process.

As this is the ONLY vehicle of its kind here in England (got GB plates last week), I'm having to rely on international forums like this one for resource material, anecdotal posts and trouble shooting

Was it worth the effort... Absolutely!
Would I do it again... Probably not

Thanks for adding me to the forum, never been a ford fan but the wife has always liked the ford territory so i finally bought her a 2006 SY GHIA and i must admit it is very comfortable to drive.
But i think i starting to regret it has its been having issues one after the other, hopefully the forum and its members will help me get it all sorted

Hi all, my name's Paul and I've joined to see if there are any other 2010 Ranger owners that have had problems with their ECUs', I've just been told that mine has to come out and get sent away for reprogramming, apparently a common problem with these models but I have never heard about it. The car has been excellent since I bought it in 2011 with 26k on the clock and now up to 170000 with about 140k with a 2 ton van on the back, hope you can open my eyes with any info, cheers Paul.

Hi guys, gals and others,

New to the site. Live in country SA. Currently have a Ford Transit Custom for our mail run. Have owned a 2016 Ranger and hopefully should have a new 2020 XLT in the very near future.

Pretty active on other online forums and looking forward to hearing stories and problem solving issues with other Ford owners.

Cheers

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

Hi there team,

Thanks for letting me join.
I recently purchased a customised 1989 XF Falcon Panel van with a 302 V8
and with the current lock down situation I have not really driven it apart from the 200Km drive home in Auckland, New Zealand.
A few things to sort but overall in good condition. Let the fun begin!!
I'll upload some pictures ones I figured out how, it appears attaching them here only allows for very small images. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi all,
My first ford since my ZJ Fairlane. Have also had a couple of XY falcons and now almost regrettably have a 2005 SX Territory Ghia AWD.
This seems to be the best place for info and troubleshooting.
Hopefully I will find the answers to some, if not most of my annoying issues
Cheers

Welcome back.

The pandemic issue has everyone a bit distracted for now, but there’s a few of us plugging away with cars instead of posting isolation make-up videos on TikTok.

Question

Hi guys. I'm just brand new to the forum. My interest is to assist in a rebuild of an XC falcon wagon with a bro' in law.
I am in need of a wiring schematic to start with in order to trace and fix his indicators. My current thinking is the flasher combo switch on the column but I notice the flasher is quite fast with two 18w bulbs attached? Same speed with one only - maybe an LED type flasher?
Where can I access the wiring diagram?

Hi All. Ollie here in NZ. Will be looking for some assistance with error codes making my 2012 Territory Diesel run in "limp".
Have had a few over the years, starting with a '69 MkII Cortina in 1975, then MkIV Zephyr V6, Telstars, Lasers, Falcons and also a Territory Turbo. Was a Ford spanner man in the 70's and now a mechanic for fun and love of it.
Bloody shame Ford pulled the plug on the Territory. Just SUCH a good machine, at so many levels. Probably the best

Hello All!

I'm a long time lurker and gleaner of information from this Forum, so I thought I'd best join to make it official.

History with Fords dates all the way back to being a kid in Canada and the series of Fords and Mercuries that I've owned or repaired is very, very long.

Includes every year of Mustang from 65 to 84, all manner of F trucks as well as most Aussie Falcons, Escorts and others.

Currently trying to diagnose a problematic PX Ford Ranger, so will search for some answers on that.

Cheers,

Brian

Hi all new to the site & first time posting. Currently have a 2011 FG mkii FPV GS, it is a weekend car with a few mods getting us to 402kw at the rears. I have a few other goodies that I've bought that will go on in the next week or 2 that will see that figure raise a little.
Luv the forum as it has helped me on a number of occasions with informative information.

Currently looking to upgrade the sound system in the Raptor and sound deadening it as well. If anyone is keen i can post pictures of the install.
