Hello,
Cameron from North QLD. About to venture down the road of converting a BF RTV to an XR6T motor and thought I might need some expertise. See you on the forums. |

Hello everyone, I haven't posted on here before but have found some very useful information on here from some very knowlegable people.
As the name suggests I am getting on in years.I have owned a lot of different cars over the years, mainly Fords. Started with a 1936 Ford Roadster as my first car. My present cars are a 2006 Territory AWD and an XW GT. I have owned a few GT's over the years and finished restoring the XW a couple of years back. Still get a great kick out of driving the old GT. If I can pass on any info at any time I will. Thanks, Old Noddy |

Hi I am a new member and this is my first post. I have a 2005 rear wheel drive territory with 130,000 ks, heavy duty towbar and electric brake for towing my 1600 kilo caravan.I have a problem with my ignition key not smoothly operating and only works if I joggle the key to turn it for ignition and starting. Is it possible to replace only the ignition barrel or do I have to replace the keys as well?

G'day All at Ford Forums,
I Have recently purchased an 5 speed V8 RTV, and am rapt. Why the hell didnt Ford keep making them???? Hope someone out there might be able to help with a small problem with it, the motor is inclined to hunt when you stop and it surges when it is being driven? Look forward to hearing from those who have had such a problem and have solved it. |

hello everyone its Glenno here and i have a `99 model AU that i have just spent 6 grand on . its nothing flash but its been a good car so i think its worth spending money on to keep the old girl in good order .
i recently had a faulty alternator and my battery went flat on top of the gateway bridge in Brissy and i had to roll down in gear . after the tow truck took me home there was a hugh oil spill on the tow truck tray and i think it is just oil from the breather on the gearbox as the car shudders when i stop or reverse . can anyone tell me what type of oil the gearbox takes to top it up please ![]() |

G'Day all, Been lurking here for a while, currently driving a 08 XR8 ute although starting to look for its replacement. Bit annoyed that there isn't a XR8 available at the moment, will likely be looking at a XR6T sedan instead.

Hi Everyone . I'm Pete. Looking for info about some odd behaviour in my EL sealed 4 sp auto transmission. It does weird downshifts at the most inoportune times , sometimes dropping from 4th to 2nd at 100 k's. Very scary on a busy freeway I can tell ya. Car is in good condition and has been serviced regularly . Only has 140000 k's on the clock . Anyone have any idea why this is happening ? Thanks in advance .

Quite possible that you have a faulty VSS (vehicle speed sensor) although there are other potential causes. Ask the question in the Contemporary section and I'm sure someone will have an answer. Quote:

Hi to all. I very new to this . Bare with me. I own 2006 AWD Territory 98,000ks. Live south of Adelaide. Can anyone out there help point me in the right direction. Have a vibration that is there under load going uphill is the worst, at about 80-100 ks. Seems to vibtate the whole car. Balance, alignment all done. Wayne Phillis Ford located a broken transfercase bush. They suggested it was the likely cause. Replaced at cost of $400. Problem still evident. They then unsuccessfully tried to balance the tailshafts. The readings apparently kept changing due to the inner cv joint fault. They are talking another $1200. Will this fix the problem. Has anyone else had similar issues.

Hi
I'm Colin from Perth, I have just become a member as my vehicle is now out of warranty and I am now servicing it myself. My vehicle is a 2008 Ford Territory AWD SR. I have found it to be an excellent vehicle, having driven it across Australia two times already as well as many local trips around WA without a problems. We tow an Avan on all our travels and you wouldn't even know it was there. So far I have found the forum to be very good for finding out how to carry out some of the servicing operations. ![]() |

Heya AFF, first time posting long time listening!
I'm a 21 year old living in Perth, currently serving in the Australian Defence Force. My ride is a late 09 FG XR6 in Nitro. I know they're a common sight on the roads, but I don't care, I love the car all the same! ![]() ![]() |
