Hello all.

I am new to this forum. I live in Sydney. I used to own a 2008 Ford Fusion (pic attached) back in India and wish to buy a used 4x4 ute now. I am inclined towards a 2008/ 2009 Ford Ranger PK. I am not a technical person and have never owned a 4x4 before so looking forward to a lot of reading on these forums.

[Citroënbender]

Welcome; hopefully you’ll be reading about improving stuff - not unexpected repairs.

[Iron Lady]

Hi All. We have owned a 2015 Diesel AWD territory from late last year. I stumbled across this forum and thought i will give it a go. Thanks for the welcome. Probably start with some pics in the Show Us Ya Boat / Territory. Will have to wash the terry first. Cant wash boat because we sold it 2yrs ago but it was a great looking boat. Thanks Rich.

Hi. First time on here, I have a 06 bf 4speed column shift ute that has started changing gears at random times. It will go from top gear at 100kph straight in to 2nd. I'm just trying to find out what could be causing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

[Citroënbender]

It’s possibly a broken (yellow) wire in the connector between transmission and body harnesses, verified if the gear displayed on the dash doesn’t ever change. Can imagine it’s a bit unsettling.

[2BoB]

Hello all,

[LowNotSlow]

G'day.

Long time Ford fan, first time (finally) joining my like minded blue-blooded peeps online.

Been a Ford fan my whole life. Owned a 78 XC Fairmont sedan, many moons ago, but had to sell (cry) cos it was my daily driver and a 5.8 Cleveland drinks like a Yakuza with a new Liver. I was young and poor so bought an AU2 XR8 as my, relatively fuel efficient, get to work car.

Worked for Ford selling cars in NZ as well as here in OZ, but got out the game in 2007. Sold the first of the new Mustangs in NZ in 2003/2004, which earned me a weekend in the dealer principals tricked out GTP, with unlimited petrol to burn. Ah, that was a great weekend, although I doubt I would have given such a car to a 22yr old if I were him.

So here I am, much older, still got my AU2 XR8 which I've had now for about 15yrs, which leads me to this Forum as she needs a bit of work and I want to get her humming, a bit more punchy, and restore/replace the interior.

Hope to speak with a few of you who know a lot more about this than me so this piece of Ozzy history remains on the road, turning heads, for as long as possible.

Matt

Hello all picked up 2001 xr8 au to restore and enjoy , hoping to find out the pros and cons along the way

[Citroënbender]

Welcome aboard, you’ll find some keen and knowledgeable AU fans here.

[Dr_Evil's_Cat]

Hi All,


Look forward to reading and posting. Own an FG1 XR6 E-gas ute & ans SZ territory diesel (towing and family duties). FG1 is at the point where the ford dealers don't seem to have the knowledge much any more (simple ICC re-code required "Fault finding" over an hour with a recent purchase - tried to explain there was no fault, just needed a re-code because there was a new part, but nope...), so maintenance has moved to that phase were you've gotta know more about it and exactly who actually knows!


Look forward to learning from you guys, and maybe even having some info to offer myself

[Everestian]

Hi Ford Fans,
Thanks for letting me join.
Been a long time Ford fan. Have had Ford Escorts (in Europe) and a 2005 V6 Escape here (in AU).
Now have a 2019 Everest Trend 2.0 bi-turbo. Currently considering a PHEV Escape for the other half.
Cheers.

[Sharky289]

G'day boys and girls. Just introducing myself as a newbie. Currently own a '17 GT Mustang and looking to keep it company, probably with an Everest as a family hauler.

[Alliance Charlie]

Hi to All, thank you for letting me join. I drive 2004 BA Ute - dedicated gas with 4 lpg tanks (clear ute tray).
I have this factory Bluetooth Hands Free by Lumen and not sure about one 2 pin plug, suspecting it is for mike. Has anyone come across this before?

Regards
to All,

Charlie

[John J M]

Hi,

My name is John.

Thanks for letting me join the forum.

I just recently purchased a 2015 Ford Falcon FGX XR6 non turbo 6 speed manual ute which i absolutely love and have wanted one of these for about 15 years.

This is the first Ford i have owned after owning Mazdas over the years.

Cheers

John

Hi All I am Dean


I have got a lot of useful information from the forum over the years and decided to join, mainly because I have a problem I need to solve I have to admit. More about that in the relevant sub forum.



I have had mostly fords in my 44 years driving.


XT Fairmont Wagon which I fitted with a 250 2V and Top Loader 4 speed.
XB GS Black Coupe which I fitted with a 250 2V and Top Loader 4 speed.
XB Sedan
XC Wagon
Escort Sedan

XF Wagon found to be rust covered with bog and structurally unsound so I took it to a wrecker. He kept driving it. Passenger door visibly moved up and down as you were driving due to A pillar flex. The bog wasn't strong enough lol.

XF Wagon. Much better condition. Dual Fuel

XF Wagon. Second car for work
ED Futura Wagon. Dual Fuel

AU Series 3 Futura Wagon is my current car. Dual Fuel


Since the second XF I have lived on a hobby farm of 43 acres in an area of many roos. I have had to dodge them on my drive. All the cars from that one have had bullbars except the AU. With the ED I stopped counting roo impacts at 50. Roughly 80 all up. I was working in a winery travelling at all hours of the night at times. When a small roo took off the top horizontal bar of the bullbar due to weld fatigue and slammed it into the bonnet I started to drive a bit slower. The AU doesn't have a Bullbar as they are way too expensive for airbag vehicles. I drive a lot more carefully. Sometimes you don't have a choice tho when there is thick undergrowth 2m from the road. A roo can hit your car in milliseconds. I once hit 2 about a second apart and had to go home for a gun to euthanise them. I also hit 3 one morning at totally different locations driving a fire truck on the way home after an overnight firegound patrol. When a roo is hit by a fire truck at 100kph it does not survive.



My cars are not show cars, just a means of transport in case you haven't realised that. I live 55km from the town we use for all our shopping etc, 7km inside Victoria from the SA border. That town is in SA. I travel on a lot of dirt roads in very poor condition.

[61Tankfairlane]

Hi all, I'm Aslan and I've been a Ford nut all my life. I currently drive an FG FPV ute which I need some advice on. Rear end has always been a little noisy but after fitting CalTracs it's got even worse. My mechanics have tried to fix it, lube the bushes but it just made it worse. Any advice would be appreciated.

[JTP_RPM]

G'day folks,
love the site and work put in here!

New (1st) Ford owner, I've bought a 2007 BF MKII XL Ute running Factory LPG.
Landed at this place as I really wanted a ute and reading through the site I realised there was no other option - just gutted we lost local manufacturing of the I6 and the Barra!?!

[elsie44]

Hello fellow Ford fans.


The new and proud owner of a BF ll RTV cab chassis petrol 6 cylinder.


Glad to be here.

Hi All,

I have finally joined after years of gleaning useful tidbits from all the posts. Whilst I've never considered myself a "Ford man" I learned to drive in an XE Wagon and have since owned a few wagons (AUII, BA, BF) and now have a 2010 TS SYII Territory owned since new, so I guess I finally have to admit it.

I use it as my work vehicle and intend to keep it going as long as possible, so look forward to partaking in and contributing to the forum to ensure this happens.

Cheers

Simon

[Citroënbender]

Welcome; has anyone warned you about Fridays yet?

[SimonF]

Do tell? Do I have to run around the pool table naked, or something?
