I haven't had a real good look at the cams but this was the worst bit at a glance. I'd say they are somewhere between mediocre and nearly farked.

Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 15,127 Member For: 9y 2m 26d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 31/10/17 11:34 AM Share Posted 31/10/17 11:34 AM It's an ex nsw police car. I have the service history on paper from when it was sold from there and I'm pretty sure the rest is in the book but I'd have to check. It should have been serviced pretty much without missing a beat. It would have lived a hard life for a while and now that I have it I service it regularly but it still gets a hard time every now and then. It's just under 165xxx now.

Must be a ford thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
