Nice work XAmont . Beats flogging yourself off , with stop light P-Plater drags

I took my soft cover back to where I bought it , just to show them before I binned it . They gave new a new one N/C off a car in stock . Which was nice as I didnt expect that or demand a new one . The plastic side strips were faulty , must have been monday morning ones. Out of shape and too brittle and had broken in numerous places. New one AOK

Ive had my FGT ute for 5 months now , all good overall , 10,000 klms , engine and body package real good , only down points , luxury pack leather seats, sagged out soft, crap . All show , soft and supple , no real comfort, feels like a 300k old Hilux ute seat. and ute cover useless destroyed and gone all limp. Apart from that is all good, No problems like my BA ,with everything coming loose, everything just as tight as when I bought it . I give it a 8 outa 10

Try www.budgiebonnets.com.au They are only $145 bucks less fitting.

I still say they are junk, after 4 months of regular use on and off , the white plastic holding strips have snapped in various places , If its a cold day , no way can you get it to seal 100% about 90, and it comes loose as you drive when the sun comes on it even when youve kept on checking and rechecking. Bugger shrinks when its cold , and gets loose when warm As useful as a chinese minibike

Is all AOK , I busted the guy down to $6900 cash, gave it a good spit and polish what cost me $15 bucks and sold on Ebay for $13,729 after a $5 g start price to some idiot interstate and he's more than happy . So its a good deal all round , Dunno what your stressing about , lol .

Wouldnt know mate. If I want to go quick I just leave it in STD position , If I want to go that bit extra quick I just flick it left. If I wanted to play around with manual triptronic changes , Id have bought a manual , that way its a lot easier and quicker if you can change gears ,and a lot more fun to boot when you were a youngster Teaches you better car control too , without relying too much on all computer stuff they are jammed packed with now, lol , and relying on software installed to pull you out of a mess because you stuffed up ,lol. I once by mistake slammed a VJ Valiant 6 cyl column shift auto into Reverse at Full Noise for it , by trying to powershift from 1st to 3rd , Those were the days, lol . You tell me what you think happened ? , lol, for a start all the software failed, lol .

Offer them $40 k cash mate and see what they say . FPV are for wankers that have to much money or no idea . Ford pen*s Vehicles

Id say you are tripping if you think you can work that sort of deal mate . If your thinking this sort of senario, your way over your head mate and if things dont pick up gonna lose big time either way . Who knows your house could be worth half what what you paid for it this time next year , if you need to sell quick , lol . I wouldnt worry at all about paying extra of anything as the places you owe money to , will go broke before you , lol. Keep the car mate, and dont Panic . Im sure a good BA will be worth as much a a VR Commordore does now this time next year

The extra inside hooks for oversize loads , securing sound great in theory, but is only 2 each side , connected to one elastic strap , that has no tension capabilities at all You really need a extra 2 for front , and 2 at the rear which arent there to make it work properly . :( Also in rain the water builds up in cover and through weight makes the back section release and cave in whilst parked :( Weak As and Useless if you actually use the ute bit for putting stuff in, which is a shame . The new adustable slider mounts work great for big things

Hi All, Id say the New design for fastening the tonneau cover is completely crap , sure it may look better than the BA style, but using it day in day out is hard with only one person, scratches the sides, doesnt hold properly, weak as piss. Both my side rails snapped in half after 6 goes at easy on and off, . at least I can fold it now to make it easier to use. Just waiting now for it to fly off while driving . At least the BA lugs worked even if ugly. Cheers

After that Reply from a Moderater, I dont think this forums the sort of place I want to be involved in so bye . More D Heads that Real Heads. Dissapointed

Sit on it ! Fonzi ! and see

This is funny, My Running in Notes: Average overall until 1800k's 10.9 lph. Just work and back. One track day averaging at 38.9 lph. Reset and back to normal day after , now at 3000k's Average overall 10.1 lph since reset, and goes like a jet by itself, no throttle effort involved , that's 700 klm's a tank boys . Id say does them good to clean them out on the inside
