Hey all. Great site. Ive been a Ford man forever. ( you get that when your old man drives an xw gt and your bedroom is covered in Allen Moffet wall paper). I currently own an AU II XR8. So far I've done the exhaust, brake upgrade, air intake and heavy duty clutch(as the stock one leaves a bit to be desired). I do all my own mechanical work and she never misses a beat. But mostly have to work on all my mates **** box commodores. As most people that drive em can't ever fix em.

Hi Everyone. This is my second post - I joined to research info on the 4x4 system for my 2002 XLT V8 Explorer and Boy, has is delivered! The system stopped working after a battery change so I took it into the local Ford dealer who hadn't a clue. After 2 weeks they said that they though it might need a part that cost over $2,000 and they didn't think I'd want to pay that much (dead right there!) and that there wasn't one in Australia anyway. They presented me with the vehicle back unfixed, but I later discovered that they had disconnected the radio, and a bill for $784.00.
After a couple of hours on here I discovered which part I need, where to get it (USA) and the cost USD189.00 and on Youtube a demo on how to install it, with the suggestion to try cleaning the terminals of the original one first. As someone who previously regarding checking the oil as somewhat hi-tech I now have the confidence to attempt this job myself - will keep you posted |

Hello all
Newbe to this site, have signed up as I have always loved my fords and have had a lot of them, with the lastest being an 1998 explorer. I am trying to find out if it is remote locking capable? I was told by my auto electrician that if i goggle and put the vin number in it will tell me wheather or not the car has this feature, and all i need is the remote? If anyone knows anything about this or could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appriciated. Vin#1FMMU34E7V2B84221 have a great day Jam explorer |

G'day All
Thought I'd join the forum to learn from those more experienced and to share the little I know about Fords. Currently own an AU Xr8 S1 and a 1970 Capri V8 project car. I'm pretty much addicted to the 302 windsor, so I'm happy to swap ideas with anyone interested in modifying windsor v8s or Falcons & Capris. Cheers Karl |

Hey all
just quick bit about me, 26 years old, currently living in Andamooka, SA 3rd year apprentice mechanic but have been working in the trade for bout 6 years now, bit slow off the mark to get into an apprentiship but oh well. have learnt alot over the years and it all helps! current cars, 01 AU3 1 tonner, V8 manual, bit of a bns ute with a 5 post bullbar mudflaps, lights etc. working on installing more creature comforts in it at the moment, have installed a fold out dvd player and screen, has 12" sub behind seats, am upgrading the factory 2 speaker set up, half way through putting 6x9s in the rear panels and will upgrade the fronts soon. installed a factory cruise unit in it a few weeks ago which is good and wanting to upgrade the dash cluster. have a set of electric leather fairmont seats for it too so am working at it slowly. also own a XE Fairmont, injected 6 with only 150,000Km on the clock, nothing much done just some 12 slot wheels on it. bit rough round the edges but isnt too bad as a hack. |

G'day Russell and fellow Members.
My name is Jeff, I'm aged 73, and I live in the Greater Dandenong area. My vehicle is a 2003 Falcon BA XT Auto sedan, with over 370,000 km on the clock. I have already gained some very handy maintenance info from this excellent forum, and now feel it is time to contribute whatever I can in return. From recent work on my car, I think that I can pass on some useful info to other Members, and I will do so as soon as I can find the time. Cheers, Jeff |

Kaithey here. My gday message has nothing to do with starter motors.
Where should I go & what should I do? Difficult to understand this site. |

Your query came to me (as site admin) via email as you used the site feedback form to ask the question. I have taken the time to responded to that email with a link to the information you were seeking but I'm not exactly sure what you think this site is given your demand for relevant instructions. FYI - the usual practice on a forum is for you to post your question in a relevant area and then (hopefully) someone will answer it. Take some time to browse the forum and you might get the idea.

Used to be on fordforums when I had my turbo'd laser ageees ago. Years later I'm back, with my new eco friendly fiesta... I've been searching all over the net for Aussie fiesta modders, hopefully this is the right place. Cheer! |
