ok been away from the pc for a few days thanks for the replys ppl (1) What kind of smell? Electrical, coolant? the smell is electrical for sure that's why I pulled the fan motor out first up thinking it was on the way out but it runs,looks and smells fine (2) Got a cat stuck in there somewhere? nope no cats in there lol (3) Fresh, recirculate or both? both that's the other reason I was asking about how the car redirects the air from ,face,floor,windscreen and the like (4) auto or manual. my vents smoked when my btr sh*t itself.... the car has a zf auto and I only had the oil changed last week the smells been around for at least two months it still smells with new oil and although the old oil was dirty it didnt have any crap floating around in it (5) had this problem years ago.. do you park under trees? My system got clogged with gum leaves and would smoke at random times.. lucky it never actually caught fire lol funny you say this as the cars always parked under trees but the smell isnt of leaves I wonder the leaves may have got stuck in somewhere else besides the fan causing something to jam causing the electrical buring smell some other info I forgot to add is of late the auto head lights dont always work nor does the keyless entry ive checked the bcm and it looks fine nothing buring in there all the connections look good no hot pins or melted plugs and no blown fuses whats got me stuffed is it wont smell for a week then it stinks of buring everyday for a week besides taking out the dash I dont really see any other options as ive looked over everything you can check with the dash in and im guessing dash removel is a major pain in the ass cheers trev

hello ppl anybody ever had a burning smell coming though the air vents only when the aircon or the heater is turned on everything still works and its been doing it for about a month or so and not all of the time the smell isnt coming from the engine bay and the fan motor is good as I checked that last weekend ive noticed sometimes its slow to change from the face vents to the windscreen is it possible something has burnt how are the vents controlled solenoids ? opps forgot bf t standard sound cheers any help would be good

hello ppl can anyone who has cut a hole in the boot well tell me when getting the old bush out was the cars weight still on the wheels or jacked up wheels off the ground when removing the old bush just trying to plan my job befor I start on the weekend to take as little time as possible installing the new bush also whats the best size hole ppl have found if I make it the 5mm bigger than the bush should that be enough cheers trev

cheers thanks mate ill upload it over the weekend and put a link here

can somebody email me a copy of this the link no longer works [email protected] cheers trev

funny you noticed that as last night I think my car was doing the same thing and come to think about it the last few times its done it ive had the wipers on also ive gone over the brakes check the lines, topped up the fluid which was a bit low but I wonder if the reason its no longer doing it is because its not raining (no wipers on ) cheers trev

And Frauds spin man will still be peeliing his banana yep said but true cheers trev

if I was you id mail your flash box too your turner get him to load a safe tune mail it back max cost maybe 50bucks in postage or try your luck remember all it takes is you to forget just the once pulling away from the lights or over taking and some bad luck more so since you have wastegate mod + flapper 12lb act everybody is just guessing its going to be ok and most likely will but what if isnt in short spend 50 bucks and you dont have to worry about it still drive on carefull side or try your luck and it may cost you 7 grand cheers trev

give or take 1 or 2 grand its priced about right (plus rego ) these things as are most cars are worth nothing once they are nearly two years old you them to drive and enjoy not make money plus them ugly wheels wouldnt be helping it sell as a matter of fact I wouldnt buy it just because who ever was retarded enough to put wheels like that on an xr more than likely treated the car like sh*t anyway cheers trev

it sure does and in my case a few months ago did cheers trev

I agree with you so besides speed traps why do we have speed zones in nsw that jump from from 50kph to 100kph cheers trev

first off im no ford tech or zf tech I could be wrong but wouldnt the abs sensors in rear tell the ecu when to apply traction control ......is your diff still an lsd im guessing the zf gearbox has a heap of speed sensors connected to its little computer linked also by the ecu from the engine using the abs sensors from the rear wheels helping the car to know when to change gears and apply traction control you would think the car has to know its running differant size diff gears to work are you sure your diff gears are 3.46 ? now here is my guess ford are a pack of retards so you have no chance of them fixing it and having a guess its only started working again because one of the work shop retards was under your car bashing things and pulling wires and by luck only it started working just like it works when you drive it around for a while first off can the ecu be flashed to know to it has 3.46 diff gears (can somebody who tunes these cars answer this please ) im not a tuner by any means but im thinking it has already been done other wise why would it work then not work im thinking you have a bad connection somewhere there has to be some micro switches connected to the gear shift knob that's the first place id be looking next up check all cables coming off the gearbox both ends and also look for damage on them the fact your diff was removed makes me think maybe the abs sensors have been damaged check these also did they drop out your gearbox while fixing the diff ? cheers trev

f*ck me id be checking engine mounts and start hoping nothing else is twisted or broken the amount of parts that could also fail or be damaged after the box shifting like that scares me cheers trev

yep its sure does suck If it's Got Tits or Tires, Sooner or Later You are Gonna Have Trouble cheers trev

the fact your engine locked up still makes me think bent rod as the oil warms up or thins out the ticking comes back bent rod ticking sound that increase with rpm or under load bent rod worse case scenario anyway id stop starting it untill somebody looks at it better to be safe than sorry a bent rod may not be the end of the world a hole in your block is major pain in the ass anyway like I said I hope for your sake its something simple and cheap but the fact I see your cars pushing 340rwkw I dont hold much hope cheers trev
