Ok so I got the wiring through, connected everything up and I am left with this square grey connector still, I am starting to think it may have to do something with towing a caravan or something? I can only assume it connects power to a van as it has a solid 12v running through it when I meter it.

Hey everybody, I just had a towbar fitted to the typhoon, it is a really neat job and I am very happy with it, I asked the mechanic not to worry about putting the towbar wiring kit in as I would do it myself, also I was just going to hang it out of the boot when I needed it. However... I have changed my mind, the wiring kit has that new square plug on it so I was going to plumb it through and pot rivet it to the bottom of the reece hitch, anyway I have reverse sensors installed in the car and I am left with a grey square plug which I am unsure where it is supposed to connect into. Does anybody have the instructions or can help me out with it please? I was there when the wiring kit was delivered and it came with nothing except the actual item. Cheers

I couldn't agree more Ramon, I love mine except for how slow it is with the iPod navigation. The quicker they upgrade it from ainet to fullspeed the better, it is so painfully slow searching artists etc...

I was going to get them because I do a heap of country driving an thought they would give me more light? I guess this is wrong?

Ok sweet. Thanks for the info EDIT: So this is better? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=170149013583 Or is Bi xenon totally different?

I have seen on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...A:IT&ih=014 That you can get these, is there any problem with putting these into a F6? The main worry would be with them getting too hot and melting the plastics in my headlight Has anybody done a conversion?

Suspension is always a good place to start, but the best handling mod you can ever do to any car is get some driver training at a skid pan. If you are in Perth, the AHG Driving centre at the International airport rocks. I have had my WRX and MPS out there, I have not taken the F6 out there yet. It is well worth the $80 odd to be able to go crazy in your car in a controlled safe environment.

The guy is a f*cktard. I wrote a 3 page letter to Colin Lane about him. I have spoken to more than 3 people about him and they all say the same as you and I. Also I found it interesting when I got the Motor Vehicle Dealers Registry Board involved because of the deal I had with them, I said his first name and the random guy on the other end completed it for me. For a board that deals with every dealership in Australia, I think that is telling you something about the guy. All I can think is that he has something over Colin down there for Colin not to fire him. I heard his sales are great and that is excellent, but rest assured, I will never buy a ford from any one of the Lane Dealerships again and I will tell everybody who remotely looks at a ford not to deal with them because of that guy. I did talk with Paul at one stage and he was a nice guy, Also another sales guy there named Nathan was ok, Nathan actually took me for the test drive and did most of the ground work on me and then he was ousted but Vogels on the commission because Paul and Vogels had some kind of deal, I felt sorry for the guy over this, I also let Colin know in the letter about the dodgey sh*t Vogels did with the commission. I hope it all worked out for you and your mum, best thing to do is not deal with that dealership!

1 in particular.. his name is Marcel Vogels and he is an A GRADE wa*ker! You wouldn't have dealt with the oxygen thief if you bought new.

Looks like you bought it from Lane Ford looking at the brick wall. I hope you had a better experience than I did with them.

11.8/100km was my all time record usually sits around 12.5/100km This is by doing the proper calculation and not taking the stupid ICC's word for it.. The ICC displays something like 18l/100 I usually make around 530km to ~63L

I have a VDO Dayton MS5400 connected via my Alpine VHUB Pro into the ICC also I have the Parrot LS3200. It all works veryyyy sweet

I have a dvd player in the tissue box holder in my phoon. Before I got the vhub I had a switch under the steering column that you could flick to get the dvd to play. Any car audio shop can set something like that up for you. If not the VHUB is your best bet. They are around $1300 and open up a world of audio mods you can do, I now have my ipod, dvd, sat nav and soon tv running through it.

1 word... UGLY They looked cool on XY's and XC's but not on a car made in the 2000's

Damn! that sucks! Looks like I will have to bend over at the dealership and ask for them to take it easy on me

Does anybody know the Part number for the RH Fog Lamp on a BA F6 Typhoon? Mine seems to have suffered from a stone and is smashed. I don't want to buy one from Ford as I will get reamed. Thanks

I am the same. Totally blocked up, throat is killing me and ears are in pain! It has taken me a week to get into a doctor but I finally got into seeing one this arvo.

How about wait for the new F6 Territory?

My Typhoon did this, it only lasted about 100km, it supposedly happens when the weight gets taken off the front wheels (mine was in for a wheel alignment. I got told if it didn't stop that I would need to take the belt off of the power steering pump and manually turn it for 30 turns or so and then put the belt back on to bleed it. Not being mechanically minded, I am unsure if this is correct but luckily I didn't have to do it.

When I worked away, my car would sit dormant for 6 weeks. I asked the same question to many mechanics. They say it is a problem after months and months. So I wouldn't stress out too much.

Interesting to see this thread.. This morning I needed fuel bad, I drove 40km with the car saying 0k's to empty. I was about 2 k's from BP and the car was fully surging at 1500/2000rpm. I got to the servo and put 60L in. So even with 8L left the fuel was not picking up that well. Anyway 60L got me 506km So according to my calculations I achieved 11.8L/100KM

I owned a MPS 6 Luxury edition, I traded it on the Typhoon. The MPS 6 is very quick for what it is, but it gets left behind with XR6t's as for the MPS3, I can't say, I have driven one a few times but it torque steers and farts around so much, it is just dangerous.

I have/had a similar issue. Try the tip ZAP_F6 says in his post in my thread, it seems to have helped with my rough idle. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=36260

Oh, that does not sound good! Zap's suggestions seems to have worked, it messes around a little bit still, but I think it is almost sorted!
