Narrowed down the search to the Barra SZ Territory, just wondering if there is much difference in boot space between the 5 seater & 7 seaters?

I've inspected the 7 seater & can see how the extra seats may be useful on the odd occasion. If the 5 seater had much more boot space that would probably seal the deal.

Found a 5 seater to look at but 3 hrs drive so keen to hear thoughts from any past/current territory drivers on boot space & practicality of the 7 seater.

Thanks

So if I end up getting a sedan as I probably will most likely get, do the rear seats fold down. What the best models like people have said the AU falcon is great. What should I look out for and what can be done to the car like can you turbo a NA eng?

Hey all, just wondering what the paint codes are for the XR50 Turbo Lux Packs 19inch Mags. They've got some gutter rash, so I'm just trying to figure out the paint codes, cheers.

Anyone know if ba headlights and bumper fit onto a normal ba falcon. And is it relatively easy to do?

Hey legends. Bought myself a series 3 au Fairmont not too long ago and it’s missing the sub. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to replace it with original one or what size I can put in there. Cheers

Got an FG-X lux pack ute and the brand new battery went flat when the car sat for over a week. The ute had heavy duty tow bar with electronic braking so i disconnected all of that.. It sat for another week and did it again.. It seems to be draining the battery when it locked and sitting. The battery is not a supercheap one but is recommended by my mechanic and has the proper amp rating..

Also. When it gets flat it wont start the FG-X. Not enough to turn the crank. However, swap it into my FG G6 and it has just enough to turn and start it. It seems the FG-X needs a lot more power from the battery to get it started.. The alternator works because i can drive around and charge up the battery enough but cant let it sit for more than a few days.

Anyone know where i should look first?

G'day I'm hunting down a SAAS boss kit to run on my 1998 PD Ford Courier, I can't find any place selling them for my ute, or any information on it, SAAS website with the listing PDF has the courier from 88-91

Looking for an older master parts catalogue. We are looking for a part number for a power steering back 1982 302 Cleveland Fairmont XE.

The one we have is 3A732. We were give information to get us this far but the master parts catalogue will help us get everything. Any and all help is welcome.

Hi, I'm in the market for my first car and not very knowledgable on cars in general. Currently looking at a 2015 Ford Fiesta which seems quite nice, but friends have advised against it under the assumption that parts and maintainance will be significantly more expensive than a japanese car or a holden or whatever. How true is this in practice? If I go in for a service will I be paying an extra $100? $500? Will replacement parts cost thousands instead of hundreds? What should I expect if I decide to go with this one?

G'day everyone!

George here, CMO of Trapo. I'm thrilled to introduce our game-changing Trapo Hydrophobic Wiper Blades to the Aussie car community.

I am restoring a 1970 boss 302 with my uncle, we bought the Saginaw power steering pump for the resto-mod and are very happy with it but our problem is the bracket is nasty ugly and we want a Ford bracket to bolt it too.

We have heard some Australian cars with Cleveland's in them (302 or 351 doesn't matter) used the Saginaw pumps in them.

Does anybody know the years that the Austrians did this or have park number or know what brackets or any kind of knowledge? We have hit a dead end and are looking for help.

Would you like to upgrade your Ford Ranger/F150 to go off-road?Is this upgrade legal in Australia?

I have a Ford Ranger PX2 that is behaving weirdly. Every so often, when I try to start it, it “sighs” (that’s the only way I can think of to describe it), and doesn’t start.

If I turn it off, then turn the ignition on and wait for about ten seconds, before cranking it, it starts as normal.

This is very intermittent (maybe one in ten cold starts), and only happens when the car is cold. If I t’s been driven, even only for ten minutes, it doesn’t happen again.

For that reason, it’s impossible to reproduce the problem when I take it to a mechanic.

Has anybody here experienced a similar problem, and if you have, was the cause ever discovered?

I’m looking at buying a 2003 Econovan, just wondering how difficult it is to find Ford 20+ year old replacement parts in Australia?

This was dropped after the NL/DL models. Was it due to not fitting the IRS in the AU, or just that it was unreliable? I know you can't find a Statesman/Caprice where it is still working after 20 years.

I've just gotten myself a ba Fairlane and want to replace at least the muffler because stock they make almost no noise, but I can't find any mufflers or even catback exhaust kits on the market. I was wondering if a ba ute exhaust would fit as they have the same wheelbase as the Fairlane, or if I should just go to an exhaust shop and get something done custom?

Thanks

https://automafiaracing.com/products/barra-3-0-inline-6-cylinder-used-imported-from-australia I thought engines had to be over 23 years old to be imported to USA?

Hey not sure if anyone would have an idea but I’ve got 2 au falcons 1 series I 1 series II Both start beautifully but the series II starts calm and softly where are the series I starts like it’s been woken up from deep sleep. Would anyone know why?

I currently am driving a ba xr6. I’ve seen a few xr8’s pop up on marketplace cheap. I’ve just skeptical as if they are money pits. Any advice ?

Hello all, American here, trying to find a 3.25 stroke Cleveland crank. I know they once existed on your market but are there any still being made? And by who? A custom grind can cost 5K easily here an that isn't in the budget. But I am dead set on a 3.25 stroke for this project.

2.3 eco boost

3.5 v6

10 speed absolutely gunna be auto

it will peel slower than an au with a weld

Hi everyone how are you all going I am having trouble with my none turbo xr6 It hesitant sometimes when starting cranks over but doesn't start and take up to 6 to 10 times to start mainly when it is cold but lately happens when warm.. I have cleaned the throttle body,changed spark plugs and coil packs,got a new battery,changed fuel filter. Engine light came on changed the O2 sensors engine light has gone .I scanned with my launch x431 elite scan tool and it came up with heaps of shit cleared them error codes then scanned again Only one that is there now and won't go away is p1000-60 Could this be the reason it is hesitant to start. I read somewhere it could be the relay is this right .I am not a mechanic and it is stressing me out to the max I also read changing pcm could cost up to 1k Would be great for some advice. Thanks for reading cheers

So over a month ago now my car went into my mechanics as it started randomly stalling when braking to a stop or accelerating from stop. My mech noted some minor things that need attention but seemingly unrelated, so sent to gearbox specialist - he had it for 2 days and said can't pinoint it, but there is a gearbox fault code. Mechanic said lets send it to Ford for diagnosis. Took it in Thursday morning, called today saying they havent found the issue but refuse to diagnose further til issues my mechanic is aware of are addressed.
There is a worn engine mount, exhaust manifold leak, a split in turbo pipe (EGR assembly?), and glow plugs.
My question - is it worth even fixing these issues to get further diagnosis? I still owe about 7K on the car on a personal loan (lesson learned there). I have poured a fair bit of $$$ into it over the past 18 months with timing kit, new a/c compressor, new coolant fan and system, plus standard maintenance, tyres etc..
There is a possibility it could be a small fix once these are addressed, or could be a full gearbox replacement.

I see on eBay people selling manuals for Falcon EF to FG. Are these legit? Or it just somebody has scanned one of those Haynes/Gregorys/Max Ellery books?

just wondering how long it would take for a car to get p-plate legal?

Where do we report a successful Sync3 update? It seems there's no option to do so. Thoughs?
