SilverG6ET

Thanks heaps Mate.

Gents, Thinking of upgrading dics/pads on my G6ET and wonder if a kind member could advise what tools I'll need for the job, ie: what size bolts are used to hold calipers and would ring spanners do the job or do I need sockets. Just want to make sure I have all the right tools required before I start the job. Any other advice on tools/other tips would be great. Cheers

Nice car mate. With 1,200ks on it you can give it WOT no worries, just watch out for loss of traction, tyre wear and cops

Very nice mate, love the look. I want a set of those wheels but one thing stops me!!!! The Boss Maybe you could talk to her on my behalf, explaining that I REALLY need a set of those wheels & tyres.

Welcome to the Forum!! Nope, no auto up on the windows. I believe it's a safety feature so we don't get the kids heads jammed in the window or the bowls cardy caught in it As for the speedo, as said above, just set the readout to display the speed on the centre digi screen and all's fixed. Have over 17,000ks on mine now and still going as well (if not better) than the day I bought it.

Apparently the IPhone has compatibility issues with the Ford BT. Maybe check with your dealer to see if you have the latest software for the BT.

Why not ring them and ask??? I think you'll find they will want to know about any mods. Remember, if you make a claim and haven't told them, they can deny the claim for disclosure failure. Also remember you are obliged (ie: MUST) inform them of anything which may affect their decision to accept or continue cover on the car. If it were me, I wouldn't even contemplate it without checking with them first. If they agree, also remember to get the modifications cover IN WRITING on your policy. That way they can't say you have not informed them, if/when the crunch comes and you need to make a claim.

Just adding to what everyone has said, if you do any mods and tell your insurance company and they say "yes, fine no problems" then get that put IN WRITING in an addendum to your insurance policy. That way in the event of the unthinkable happening, they cannot back out of an accident/total loss claim. It's all okay for an insurance CS person to say "it'll be fine" over the phone, but if it were me, I'd be insisting it be put into writing. I might sound extreme, but I previously worked in the insurance investigation game and I know EXACTLY what some insurers will do when the crunch comes.

Hey!!!!!!!! You young 28 year old wipper snappers, enough of the "old" bit okay!!!!! I might be a fart with a Ford cardigan though.

The only options on the G6ET is Sat Nav, 19 inch alloys and (I think) the Safety Pack (someone correct me here if I'm wrong) which is adjustable peddles or something. No LSD, no, but I honestly don't give a rats, only noticeable difference is the G6ET will smoke only one wheel at a time, rather than both LOL!!! No noticeable dramas with the brakes (14,000ks so far) although they aren't designed to stop a 1,600kg odd car from 200km/h, 10 times in a row. They are adequate for everyday driving. I don't think any one else on here has had major problems with brake shudder, at least not like the BF's had. Mate, they are one classy, powerful car and I have had a few very minor issues (blue tooth, small oil seep from timing cover etc) but nothing really major and all the tiny issues were fixed at my last service. I still love driving it every day and would venture to say it is one of the best cars I have ever owned (that's after owning 2 faultless Subaru Liberty's) and would say, MATE JUST DO IT!!!!! (you know you want it )
