I agree, that's why I thought the dealers would be keen to do a deal but they're more than happy to let you walk out the door, I guess some things are out of our control!

Cheers guys, it's so bizarre, I traded an 04 XR6T to get the typhoon and got 22K for it, don't figure! It definitely doesn't encourage you to buy another FPV or even an Aussie made vehicle.

Hi All, I am currently looking to trade in or privately sell my BFII Typhoon which is in great condition and has 131,000km on it, yes quite high but it is a work vehicle. And I am absolutely gob smacked at the trade in dealers are offering, between 18k-20k max, I have it privately listed as well for $27990 which I though was pretty reasonable but no takers. For those of you who are selling similar vehicles is this where the market is at? or am I expecting too much? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Scott

Im 41 and paying $873 with QBE in Brisbane rating 1.

I have been using RDA golds on the front with EBC red stuff pads for the last 60,000km with no issues (street driving only). They definitely don't have the stopping power of the Brembo's but were less than half the price. I am now about to change to a set of DBA4000xs through Hiro who has given me a great price + outstanding service so I can get a little closer to the original performance. Scott

Welcome and good luck with the new toy! Good to see another ex pusser onboard.. :headbang2:

I'm on the road most of the day, mainly city driving with the occasional spirited driving, I'm averaging around 12.9-14.0 l/100k.

Machining would have been my first option, but I was told by 2 different brake specialist there was nothing left on them.

Forget about getting them skimmed, my lasted me 60,000, I'm now on my third set of rotors at 125,000

Don't forget by reclining your seat back to 177 deg increases the car's aerodynamics

I'm currently using RDA gold's on the front of the Phoon with EBC reds, have had them on for the last 18 months/65,000 km with no issues. No where near as good as the Brembos but a heap cheaper. For everday street driving I think they're fine. Scott

He had me at 'steel side skirts with led lights'

I think you will find Ford offer a 3 yr warranty so depending when it was bought it may be covered up till Dec as long as it is under 100K. And I wouldn't be so sure of the flashing either as ford can tell how many times the ECU has been flashed with the BF's. I would ask your dealer if they say it's fine then extend.

Thanks for that, I might pay them another visit.

Are RDP back in business? Can anyone tell me where they are know and if they are any better. Sorry to hijack.... Cheers. S

I think someone has blow off valve envy

The R/H one that runs along the seat has gone on my Phoon, probably from getting in and out so often. Pretty poor quality in my opinion. I too would love to know what it would cost to rebuild these.

The one from ASL works great, well worth the extra $. HERE

Thanks for the reply, I don't remember seeing that option but I'll check again! Cheers, Scott

Does anyone know if you can view the ECU error codes with the Xcal2 + live link? Cheers, Scott
