Ford Warranty on my APS Phase II
Sounds like a half decent dealership there xrdreaming. I took my XR8 in for a coolant leak and an Oil leak the other day and the service guy tried to argue with me that I had voided my warrenty because I got an SS Induction kit fitted to my car. I went right off and his manager came over and he said straight away that the kit does NOT void my warrenty at all. I was quite bemused as he had to eat a big fat slice of humble pie. :flippingfinger: Turns out they couldn't find the oil leak so they cleaned all my underbody and told me to bring it back after 500k's. To the service guys defence he was very polite when I came to pick my car up. Not that I am very happy with him. I also have a metal contaminant in my power steering fluid and I enquired about that. It is quite noticable when you shine a torch in it so I took a sample and put it in a container and showed them. When I picked my car up the guy said it was quite common( wear and tear he says!) and not to worry??? So after 12000km's it should be common for the power steering fluid to be fairly contaminated??? Has anyone else's power steering fluid been like that with a similar amount of k's on the clock?

What Problems Have You Had?
Hi all, I have got my car booked in tomorrow for a Oil leak and also a Engine Coolant leak. I thought I had stuffed the sump when I went over a speed hump I didn't see but I seen under the car yesterday and there is no damage at all to the sump or any other componants. I got a SS induction kit fitted yesterday , and when they had to move the power steering module they showed me a sample of the oil in it and it had a kind of brassy/glittery sediment in it, quite polluted with it. I am really not happy at the moment with my dealership as this is an ex-demo and supposed to be in perfect condition! BULL:pooh:

Sounds like a gr8 idea GJ, My workmate has a Phantom T and we go cruisen often. We have even been with another guy who has an XY GT. Livo has alot of issues(e.g. Expensive Daewoo dealership on the highway) but there are so many Ford lovers around I am sure we could organise something. I hope those on the north shore don't knock us. I am a proud Westy even if I don't wear a flano and ugboots and sleep with my cousin. Sorry, been trying to make an excuse to use that icon. hehehe

ever get randoms come ask you Q's?
I have had mine less than a month and have already been pulled over for 2 RBT's. Both times they asked for my licence but they didn't even look at it. The Officers each raised (in general conversation) my XR8. "So this is the new XR8 is it?" one said. Real subtle. Now on a completely unrelated matter I 'accidently' lost traction 2 days before the easter long weekend leaving a servo and I didn't see the highway patrol parked 3 meters to my left. :doh2: After giving me a neg driving charge he then wanted to talk about my car??? He wanted to know my fuel economy and how good it goes. He had a VY series 2 and was getting a XR8 at the end of the month. He was getting all excited talking about it but strangely enough I was not in the mood for talking. People in rural areas are more keen and open to come up and talk about the car and have a sticky beak which I don't mind at all. I am always more than happy to preach the virtues of the blue oval and the big BOSS engine.

Distance To Empty
I have tried to get my XR8's average below 15L/100km but it so hard when you can put your foot down and watch the real time average flash on 99.9l/100km.

What does your family think of your obsession?
Could not agree more CRO. I didn't tell anyone that I was buying my XR8 until the day I got it. I just rocked up to a mates house where they all were and they were completley gob smacked. The mates I thought would be supportive were great, they understand it is my choice to make, mistake or not. The voiced their opinions but that's was it. Only one mate was sh*tty with me but that was because he is a Expensive Daewoo fan. My family was also supportive although a little hesitant. I live by 2 motto's I'm here for a good time, not a long time. and Only God can judge me... I allow anyone and everyone to voice there opinion but as long as my decision is not hurting anyone else, then it is my decision to make...
