okay the air con is fixed the electric boot release replaced and yes I B that's what it was doing.From day one the air con wasn't working so my dealer filled it.Well that's were the problem began they over filled the system.The system should carry.49kg of gas,they had filled it to .76 kg.and was running at 1700KPA were it should of been running at 900KPA.With all the extra gas the system would freeze over and not work on warmer days.Well I took the car to my ford dealer about 4 times for this and they said there was nothing wrong.Today I took it to brad garlick and he fixed most of the problems,I think it had a loose connection on the ICC,well time will tell.Rang my ford dealer to tell him the news would of loved to have seen his face,he sent emails to ford australia asking for help about the air con problem .Customer service in melbourne has rung me to about the problem can't wait to ring them and tell them my ford dealer is a wa*ker.Cheers Nick

Bought my car in june was back for repairs within 24 hours.Its almost been 6 months and I am still taking it back for the original problem with many more since.My air con has never worked properly,it struggles on hot days.So I thought on a hot day I would take it to the dealer and show him.We sat in the workshop for about 20 minutes with a temp gauge in the air vent, the lowest it reached was 14 degrees.The dealer said there was a problem with it as it should of been between 4 and 6 degrees.So I booked the car in,its a cold day the only thing they did was put the gauge back in the vent. It read 4 degrees they didn't test anything else,he rings me to tell me its fixed.Went to pick my car up, I lost it with them could of killed them all ,the cars been back four times for the air con now .You could of at least checked presure and gas levels.Here is the short list of problems with my car.Noise in gear box (manual) Radio resets itself.Air con rooted.rattle in back of car somewhere.Paint peeling off front and rear bar.Idle drops to 250 rpm when braking some times.Clock resets itself.The electric boot release rooted. Glove box broken. side Skirts Loose.Replaced the acclerator pedal assembly.Had new software installed in the computer.When starting the car the air con fan control is on max and within 2 seconds it returns to the preset level.Anyway taking my orange lemon to an other ford dealer tomorrow will let you know how it all pans out.If ford australia and Expensive Daewoo join forces they can name the company folden.If anyone has had any of these problems let me hear about it please.Cheers Nick

Sorry about the spelling had a few issues with the computer it really slowed down.I was receiving about 7000 emails a day.It should be right now had a couple of Trojans running around.Don't get me wrong,ford makes great cars.Great value for money.Its only when it comes to warranty I have issues with ford.Cheers Nick

come on people say something ,was expecting some response even agreeing that I was a wa*ker would of been fine,hope you all coped well with the heat today.Cheers Nick

Ford lost the plot in the late 80's early 90's. I bought a new camry back then, a V6 2.5.not the wide body one the one before it,I think sv25 fully imported model,compared to the ea and even the vn it out performed out handled them easily.There service was second to none,even when the car was out of warranty they fixed some problems free of charge.The ford bosses should pull there heads out of their arse and listen to there customers.You have to almost blackmail the dealer to repair anything at all on the cars.We have written your problem down so if it gets worse we will fix it,is what you get most of the time.Bought a new BA XR8 from day one it wasn't running properly.Ford said the engine was hunting.What they said next was quite disturbing ,I'm sorry Nick ford hasn't the right soft ware for this engine yet and are working on it,as soon as we receive it we will ring you to up date your cars computer.Can you imagine how I felt the week before I handed over almost 50k to buy a car that ford hadn't developing yet.Fords service sux and if they started to treat customers with respect and not toss them around like they do,people would keep buying them.I know more people that would never but another ford than any other make.9 times out of 10 its the small things Expensive Daewoo washes your car every time you take it for service,free coffee internet access all free of charge.On the other hand every time I speak to my ford dealer I feel im treated like an idiot take up his time,he dosn't want to help me and probably calls me a wa*ker when I go.

I Know it's hard, but imagine taking her home to meet your parents,mum dad you know that girl I have been seeing for the last 3 years well hear she is!!!!!!!!!!!!(Must be wearing the same swimsuit)Would love to have a camera set up recording my parents face.Warning pre dial 000.Trying to have sex with her would be like playing pool with a piece of rope.Can only come from the country that gave us jerry springer.Cheers Nick

saggy underwear it must have nuts.

Hi Dan,check ebay there is a place in WA that I found to be the cheapest, way cheaper.Make sure you ask him if it is a natural diamond,believe it or not these day they sell chemically grown diamonds and flog them of as diamonds there hardness is 8.5 compared to 10 for the real thing.There is a shop in sydney I checked them out she would never know the difference,spend the dollars saved on the t.I didn't buy one went with a mate he did ,his wife is none the wiser showing off her 2 carat rock for $1000.00 .Cheers Nick

HI I started witha big W /k-mart bike would work my ring off for a top speed of 14kph.25kph that's hard work on a mountain bike.If you want more speed buy smoother tyres,like slicks.Should be easier to maintain higher speeds,Cheers Nick

By the sound of the last post that's 2 callers waiting for the number

If you dont have any luck on the legal side,post his number I dont think he would mind if we call him and waste his time.Ask questions like how many different colour window tints do you have,If I have a blue car and you tinted the windows black would the windows look black or would they take a bluey tinge,what guarantee do you give on the tint,I park my car in the shade will the tint last longer and if so how much longer.What if I park it in the sun how much would it shorten the life of the tint.Do you remove the door trims from the car when you tint them if so do you take care.String him along 4 as long as you can.When he start's to crack it .just before I go one more question . how much extra does it cost for you to break the tweeter pods on the door trim or is that just std practice.call him a wa*ker or D!ckhead and hang up.Imagine if he recieves 50-100 calls like that in a week. anyway that's what I think Cheers Nick

Would of had a go at 80km if there wasn't that many bikes around.My parents live in marmong point ,I usually take the bike up when I see them,some nice flat rides around the lake . Warners bay side.

Ford suxs picked my car up one day dropped it off the next for repairs,wanted to charge me $44 for a loan car said your joking just paid you $1595.for. delivery cost. that's an expensive wash.Mate the exhaust pipe is blowing cooler air than the air con,peeling protective film of pedals,consol,and dash what do you blokes do 4 the money .Air con still sux on hot days .They change the acclertor pedal some warning keep coming up.Going back on wednesday this week.

nothing with mine yet,has about 8000km.The gearbox (manual)makes a noise . ford reckons its run out noise sounds like its going to fall apart when cold gets alittle better after warming up,the air con sux been back twice still haven't got it right.Cheers Nick

It was 90km ride.I was doing about 65km down the hills and some freaks were riding past me like I was standing still.They were doing at least 80km.All I know is if you come off at 65km on a push bike it is going to hurt.There was over 10 000 riders and about 400 were hurt,the ride came to a stop a couple of times with one guy going over the rails at stanwell tops and dropping 15 feet over the side an ambulance came and got him.Its a scary ride riders weaving pulling out in front of you with out looking to see who was coming up from behind them.

Hi all still here.it wasn't that bad a couple of testing hills could of done with 1/2 a dozon more gears.15 of us from the local gym made a team, 2 were instructors.First one home beat the instructors by 20 and 50 minutes,there not happy considering im almost twice there age and smoke.Cheers Nick

it wasn`t that bad only a couple of testing hills.15 of us from our local gym did it. 2 bike instructors weren't happy beat one by 20 minutes and the other by 50 minutes. Smicky we usually meet up at canterbury ice ring .Cheers Nick

Hey smicky,try this site.www.msaustralia.org.au/gongride/training-proram.asp.If your ever in sydney my brother and me usually go for a ride on sunday mornings about 30-60km join us.You shouldnt have any problems keeping up.My bike isnt cheap(not as good as yours)its a road raceing bike.Looks like a racer but has flat handle bars.Carbon fibre forks and geared like a racer only two cogs at the front.You would have no problems riding to the gong.Maybe next year we could start a team from the forum the xr6`s.would love to have a turbo on the bike that would make life easier a lot easier,anyway Im off to face the hills .Cheers NIck

hey smicky if you go on the ms web site its has a 5 week training program.If you have a half decent bike it shouldnt be a problem.Bought myself a resonable bike and found it was easy and alot quicker.With a k-mart bike was lucky to sit on 14km a hour with the giant bike can sit on 30km with not much effort.that's on the flats.Cheers Nick

so do you have crusie nights or is there a sydney xr6 club I need to join.

I think I should of taken the 48 beer option.How many members live around hurstville ,if there are a few of us maybe we can meet up one night and go for a cruize.Im live in peakhurst .

Geography of a women >Between the the ages of 18-21 a women is like africa, half discovered,half wild,naturally beautiful with fertile deltas.Between 21-30 a women is like america,well developed and open to trade especially for cars,homes and cash.Between 31-35 she is like india , very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.between 36-40 a women is like france, gently ageing but still a warm place and desirable place to visit.Between 41-50 she is like yugoslavia, lost the war,haunted by past mistakes. massive reconstruction is needed now. between 51-60, she is like russia, very wide and borders unpatrolled. The frigid climate keeps people away.Between 61-70. a women is like mongolia,with a glorious and all conquering past but,no future.After 70, they become like afghanistan.Everyone knows where it is,but no one wants to go there.Geography of a man. between 15-70 a man is like an aussie ruled by a D1CK.Cheers Nick

is anyone else silly enough to be doing the sydney to wollongong ms bike ride on this sunday.Cheers Nick

Hi all . Can`t help myself hope you have a sence of humour Brad.The only hint I can give you make sure you take the cash off who ever purchases the car

No the car hasn`t hit the track yet,it will be a while away ,as I find out more will post it.The mustang is a full chassis car straight out of the states.Nothing will happen this year should be some time next year,my guess mid to late.
