After the site upgrade last night a number of people have needed to clear cache and cookies to get a new cookie.

If you let me know your original user name I can merge the profiles.

Hi all

Not sure if I am on the correct place to ask a question. My Ford Territory TX Central Locking stops to work for unlocking the door only and from last two months I was opening one door manually and then you can open other door from outside.

My car Battery also need replacing and today it has been replaced but for some reason still my Central Locking System is not working for opening doors. When I press the unlock button on the remote it only opens the Driver's side. Any thoughts

Thanks & Regards,

Khawar

G'day cobberz,

Recently purchased a BF2 Falcon for $7k (think I did ok, not sure). Previously owned an Audi A4, c**t of a car to say the least.

Bought the ford because of it's proven reliability and robust straight 6 engine. Hopefully I have no serious issue with it, if I do, you'll be seeing alot of me on this forum asking noobish questions.

in fact...I have a couple already....

Cheers!

Big fmic kit

Pretty basic but a good base to start

Hi all,

I've got a 2005 Territory AWD TS - I'll be seeking advice about an issue with one of the headlights with a humidity problem (it mists up whenever the car gets wet, so water is getting into the headlight). Let me know if you have a solution, or where I could get some aftermarket halogens or something to spoil myself.

I just started having this occur as well on my 04 TX ... and it looks like it is the black sealant where the headlight lens meets the plastic body of the headlight .... it seems like there are some cracks in the sealant now ... and it allowing water ingress slightly.


It only did it when i washed the car a little while ago ... not this last time though.
I may try and apply some Sikaflex 227 to the affected areas that I saw and see if it fixes it though.

Seemed to be over the top of the headlight that I saw .... but i really should check the entire light .... and i really don't want to pull a headlight out.
