Cool. I might give it a shot. Have a look at a few cars and see what I can get them for, and then see what the broker can do for me. Thanks guys,.

Hey Guys, Im in the market for a new (used) car soon and Ive been reading about car brokers on the internet. Basically they do all the talking with the dealers etc, organising the best deal for your trade in and getting the best price on the car you want. Of course all the testimonials say they are fantastic, but has anyone ever had dealings with them in real life? cheers Kurt

What did they say about the diff whine? Is it coming with any sort of reliable warranty? If you are keen on it I would be getting a mechanic to do a report on it, and then tell the sales man what you want fixed first if you buy it.

probably confused kw with hp - that's around 250rwkw if he has.

Man - that's where I proposed to the missus! We spent three nights at Abbey beach and the restaurant is where I popped the question

Saw XXXR6T down in Margs at the chocolate factory!

Hey Steve - congratulations. I was about to post in the "WA spottend" thread - you parked next to my missus's car at the chocolate factory the other day. Ive never met you in person before - are you a fairly tall guy? I remember a couple walking in as we were leaving. I popped the question to my girlfriend on the 30th June in Busselton. Spent a few night there, then moved onto margs for a couple nights. Got the waiter to bring out a fancy dessert with "will you marry me" written on it in chocolate sauce. When she looked at me with a suprised look on her face I was down on my knee.

Ebay usually has them - with either an XR6 or turbo or various badge on them.

Well guys Ive installed the throttle body that I bought off that bloke on page one and it made fark all difference. I left my car with my performance mechanic for a week and he drove it non stop to find the problem... and guess what, it ran perfectly for him, but within an hour of picking it up it started stalling on me again. His suggestion is a faulty unichip, but I dont think that is the go seeing as people with edit and even stock cars see the same thing. I might see if I can get them to check the timing positioning sensor. Any idea what that is worth? Ive basically grown accustomed to coming to a stop with my foot on the brake while giving it a bit of accelerator. pretty unsafe ford!

I got some computer illiterate work mates with the good ol' print screen, then set as desktop and hide icons and taskbar... was pretty bloody funny watching them try and figure out what was going on...

throttle body is pretty easy to get off - just undo the hose clamps to remove any connected pipework. Use an allen key to remove the four bolts holding the throt body in place and undo the two electrical connectors either side. Give it a good clean with carby cleaner or similar. I had the TPS and throttle body replaced on mine about 9 months ago.. surely it hasnt failed already?

TPS's are only $30-$40 arent they. I guess it cant hurt to chuck a new one in and see how it goes.

Hi. Sorry, should have mentioned that I bought the car with the unichip etc already installed, so its written down as being there. I have already asked what happens if I go to an edit (as in saying I wont be getting any extra power, just a better tune) and they said Ill lose all drive-line warranty. Do the T's have an idle solenoid - I thought it was controlled electronically?

cheers guys. I did take the throttle body off to give it a clean. The tuner suggested bumping the idle up because he said the injectors are on the minimum duty cycle at the moment... so if the car is idling slightly above where it should be the computer completely cuts the fuel to the injectors and the car either stalls or gets really close... may not be just a band-aid, it saves me from goin to an Edit, which will completely lose my warrantly. Did run a bit better after I did that, cleaned the spark plugs and checked all the hose clamps etc. Hey Dan - any difference between the NA and Turbo throttle bodies? or do you mean I can take the screw out of it and put into mine?

Hi Guys, Im pulling my hair out trying to get my car idling properly - took everything apart and checked the plugs etc. When ever the car returns to idle it drops to 200rpm, then back up to 700... and sometimes even stalls. Ford tell me its tuning, my tuner tells me the unichip cant alter closed loop - so no help there. Anyway... to cut a long story short, I thought I would have a play with the throttle body to see if I could at least raise the idle. There is a little hex head bolt on the top. I couldnt budge it with a spanner, so I got the multigrips out. as it started turning the little gold thing on top popped out and I cant find where it went. Anyone know what this bolt and little gold thing do? Heres a pic. cheers
