  1. @masda74 What tyres are you going with..any idea yet? My dunlops are worn out at... the same Km's as well. Im looking at some Konis...for shocks @will-82 Did the service guys say anything about it ?
  2. making your own inspection panel is an option....you don't get to see it sitting in the boot well..so if its done right then it would be ok Id reckon...would save a hell of a lot of work time and money. ...when the warranty expires will look into doing that ... & also tackling the ICC (POC!)
  3. If the GPS is part of the ICC screen unit and is disabled...can it be enabled with Fords IDS ? Has anyone ever taken out the FG MK2 ICC and replaced it with aftermarket?... what would happen if the existing ICC unit were removed...would the car still function apart from the radio/Bluetooth/reverse sensors..?? Has ford used this ICC unit for other models...? What is the company that makes/supplies the unit ? Can the ICC unit be disassembled....perhaps into component/function modules.? Can we input/output using a smaller screen...we could then relocate the smaller screen down into the lower dashboard space and replace in the original screen hole an aftermarket unit. Has anyone got a tech datasheet/circuit on the ICC unit?
  4. I will push the issue ....they (Ford) will I hope at least do something and perhaps fit new original bushes.... After reading about so many falcon and territory owners having these issues..I kinda wonder how this issue could not warrant a recall....perhaps there are just too many for ford to fix if they did. if I can get them replaced with stock bushes...I would think about either adding a diff bush insert, whiteline or nolathene..or fill the voids with sikaflex.. but can you do either when the axle is in situ?..... why didn't they put a diff bush inspection panel in the boot well knowing the issue is likely occur.
  5. has anyone got the axle tramp issues looked at and fixed through warranty? Ive test driven a few Auto's and this manual I have now is way worse. At the Last service ...the service centre said they couldn't see anything wrong...to me its bad If it turns out to be Bushes will they fit non Ford Bushes? Nolathane or SuperPro ? TIA
  6. Noticed there are other kits out there .. some with (maybe) prettier remotes here is one available directly in Australia... Viper http://www.vipersecurity.com.au/products/security/directed-pke-2102t-passive-keyless-entry a few on ebay like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/passive-Keyless-Entry-anti-theft-Security-car-Alarm-PKE-System-push-remote-start-/261180183307?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccf8d530b Anyone had one of these systems installed or know of someone. ..I think the optional 'remote' start option is illegal perhaps in Australia..remote start is not something I would want.. How secure are these units? Potential Signal interception would be my main concern.
  7. Not sure is this is the right spot for this Smart Keyless Entry System + Push Button Start Module # AK-104B Suitable for any vehicle, Advanced Keys' Smart Entry and Start System provide a true hands-free keyless entry experience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-cZqpbFyM http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK104B.html Anyone seen this before or perhaps have this type of Kit ...is it any good ????
  8. ..I agree.......Perhaps we are getting a bit offtopic, probably deserves another thread... ..Expensive Daewoo in Australia .. its not looking so good at the moment either. Also the news says that again Ford will not commit to manufacturing in Australia past 2016 http://www.news.com.au/business/companies/holden-loses-out-to-hyundai-and-nissan-in-march-sales/story-fnda1bsz-1226611137074
  9. If only we could replace the unit as another option...plenty of aftermarket units out there...so many other car makes and models enjoy the possibilities.
  10. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FG-Genuine-sat-nav-satellite-navigation-Territory-SZ-MK11-G6E-GT-F6-XR6-ICC-FPV-/221230734515?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3382611cb3 Yeah expensive.... hmmm I wonder if someone will crack the unit and unlock the Sat Hardware ..perhaps pure coincidence the seller is asking to exchange the sat nav for the non sat nav screen. !
  11. Just Checked to be sure...I have currently Dunlop SP Maxx 245/40/R18 So what about a profile/size such as 245/45 or 245/50 ? how far can we go safely.. This one isn't European but it says its a quiet tyre...Yokohama. http://www.tyresales.com.au/tyres/Yokohama/ADVAN_DB_DECIBEL_(V551)/245-45R18/2853 http://www.tyresales.com.au/tyres/Yokohama/ADVAN_DB_DECIBEL_(V551)/245-50R18/2844
  12. tradein ...yeah that's the same comment I got from a dealer.... where are they getting these tradein value figures from..redbook? Car Models are always going out of production these days....the situation is nothing new...if this keeps up I can imagine them slashing the new falcon car price even more. ..Perhaps it was a mistake for Ford to go public so soon and say the falcon will be going out of production..perhaps they could have waited until the very last possible year/minute before going public....right now they have a few years of production still left but will many people flock to buy knowing the car is going to be obsolete...? At the moment there is no way on earth its a good time to trade....will the situation improve..?
  13. Xr6T Manual (Feb 2012 ($45k brand new ..with tow bar pack) .... now done 23Klms ....just got a tradein price check today .......$23k .. cough !!
