After driving the car today and then driving the car hard on the acceleration of the line and while cruising the speedo has cut out and then I have pulled over and restarted the car, and it was all good. My next steps seem like I will need to change the rear wheel speed sensors, given that the left one is surprisingly worn out more than what I would have expected for a car that is 18 years old with 140,000km on the clock. Dad had a 2005 December build BF MKI XR6 Turbo and never did we have this issue and that car did 200,000km. Front Left Front Right Rear Left: Looks completely flat on the surface . Rear Right: Still has the inner circle that is a present, compared to the left one, which is completely flat.

some serious doomerism by you there @RainingPistons... just because you're personally affected by it, there's no reason to push that clearly written by you but also badly written article on everybody...

While I have heard of PCMs failing, it cannot be anything like as bad as you are presenting. After some simple maths, I am going to call bullsh*t on the failure of "8340 in 24 hours" figure presented. Firstly, how would anyone ever find out that figure of "8340 in 24 hours" in any accurate way? It is not possible for someone to contact every single workshop and ask "Did you have a BA falcon with a damaged PCM today"? Even if they did call every workshop, they would not get to talk to the right staff and get an accurate answer. Secondly, if there had ever actually been 8340 failed in 24 hours, then every single BA would have already failed many times over From a quick search "The Ford Falcon BA sold 281,197 units between 2002 and 2005." 8340 is just under 3% of the BAs produced. At the same rate of 8340 per day, virtually every single BA ever made would have failed in only 1 month. Even if you said "that was a bad day" and the rest of the days they failed at only half that rate (4150), it would still be all over for every single BA in 67 days. I think we can all see that is not the case.... While there might be an issue, it is important to make decisions based on facts.
