[Gordi]

Hi All, running an 2010 FG Falcon Ute since new, $27,490...amazing how you dont forget some numbers....lol..sitting at 435,000klm, I hit a roo with it after 18 months, had insurance fix it thankfully, $ 4500 worth of repairs to the front end, and 9 months ago, i cleaned up an Emu, this time......into the garage it went, $1000 bucks worth of parts, 7 days of running around buying and installing second hand parts.....and voia.....back to work I went. Mechanic touched the gearbox around the 200k mark, dropped the wrong fluid into it, it immediately started to clunk overtaking on the highway, anyhow, a conversation about the auto gearbox oil specifics had him assuring me the penrite oil he used was to spec, which turns out after having a second hand gearbox installed, it should have never been used, live and learn on that one.....When I first bought it, i would drive on the highway with no shoes and by big toe just touching the accelerator......hardly a press to coast the 120 klm/hr.....shes now needing a bit more of a press and id love to get the ol girl back to that soft touch i loved so much....and here I am. So gday to all, looking forward and hoping to hear some stories about your ford adventures and or mishaps....and soaking up some wisdom from those that dont need to learn a lesson twice!

[XKyleX]

Gday guys,

Kyle here from south west Sydney.

About to be the owner of a hand me down 1999 AU XR8 falcon. My old man is a big ford guy and had a FG F6 among 2 daily drivers and wants to get a boat so offered me the AU so he has some room in the shed!

It’s pretty much stock, 174xxxs on the clock with a fresh factory colour respray. I plan to do the usual/tasteful modifications to it, suspension/exhaust/wheels and use it as a nice cruiser to take the family out on weekends

[Rowdy49]

Hello to you all and thanks for accepting me into the forum, I haven't had a ford since I was a teen but have just brought a 2020 Ford Escape ST Line, taking me a bit of time to get used to the switch around with the wipers and blinkers being reversed haha. It's a nice drive though. 4 weeks into owning it I had a break down and lost all displays internally everything just went black. Been at the ford dealers now for a week and they can't figure out whats wrong with it. Can someone point me in the right forum direction of where I could get some suggestions of what could possibly be wrong with it. Thanks all...... cheers

Hi - a long time now since signing up... but finally here with an intro. of sorts.
Probably best described by youth as an 'Old Fart' - I allow lies from my mirror by not putting on my specs, but, I have to admit: My best laugh is when I look without my falsies in❗
I've yet to update my profile in the forum - another 'Ill get around to it'.

The longish😊description of my Car: 2013 Ford Territory SZ TS Wagon 7seat 5door Seq Sport Shift 6sp 2.7DT (Turbo Diesel Common rail injection).
Labelled “TDCi”. It is not 4WD.
Fitted with the side steps, chip & wind spoilers, original crossbars (Ford Sx Sy Sz Territory Carry Bars 80Kg Roof Racks Blk), and lockable. [Now not available. Part Number: SX18320AB. (Interestingly - Designed for Ford , in New Zealand by a company since taken over by Yakima)]. To them, I attach a removable (lockable) Yakima ShowDown Kayak lifter which carries my Kayak and paddle well (The paddle is secured with Yakima AceO'Spades brackets).
On the other side - a 2m Ironman Awning attached via a RacksBrax HD HITCH STANDARD (8159) set (also lockable)… for easy lifting on and off. The awning also supports my Ironman 2m AWNING ROOM AND NET.
The tow ball carries a tilt down double bike carrier (The tilt enables the rear door to accessed).

No, I'm not an intrepid explorer. I did get out in the bush, a lot of the beaten track, and camp - when much younger. Now after many years I just want to enjoy getting away reasonably comfortably and enjoy the peace, bike riding, and kayaking - the later being very much a learning curve (only a little ever done). I do want the exercise and the escape from my nerdy tech inclination/obsession.

😱Inside and the garage are littered with my sort-out of my camping gear. I've more guy ropes, and assorted types of pegs than a 'Bull can S...' - all sorts I've hung on to over the years❗

I need to stop this to save your and my own sanity. In finishing: About the time of signing up to this forum - something I spotted reminded me of some of my early driving education and I snuck a thread at General Topics > Non Ford Related Community Forums > The Bar > Humour Corner

In it, The YouTube link - shows "Mr Walker" becoming "Mr Wheeler". A Disney oldie. So's my Ford... and me❗

Hi all and thank you for accepting me into the forum.

I have a 2017 Ranger ute 3.2, that I recently acquired from a company who had the ute regularly serviced through a Ford Dealership. The vehicle is in very good condition for 170,000kms.

The sudden issue I'm having is driving back from the airport on the freeway suddenly started jerking, like cutting out, for a second then running then at low idle 'hunting'.

Recently changed the fuel filter and still has the same problem..

Can anybody help me with this issue?

Thanks
SPC

Hi everyone, Thanks for letting me join. I've just got an SZ mk2 TK 168000ks on it 2015 model.

the Forum member's posts. Cheers Kena

[tone76]

Hi all,

Thanks for accepting my signup.

Just bought myself a 2007 BF MkII XT sedan for country driving and the odd bit of towing, only has about 217k on it, which is barely run in for a Barra so I'm told. I was originally after a wagon or ute, but they're either horribly expensive or completely flogged (or both)... but I found a nice sedan near me for a very reasonable price, so here I am.

My other car is a 2012 VW Up, which is great in the city but in the country it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot (still love that little bugger tho).

The BF isn't my first Ford. I've had a few 4-pot Fords over the years (AR Telstar, KE Laser, MkI Mondeo) but this is the first big car I've ever owned.

Seeing as my BF is actually pretty nice for a pov pack and I'll be spending a lot of time behind the wheel, I want to do some upgrades e.g. light bar, aux/bluetooth, hardwired dashcam and sat nav etc and will probably be leaning on the Australian Ford Forums Brains Trust a fair bit so I don't break anything.

Cheers.
