Hey have you guys had much trouble with your xr6's? Mines been to ford twice now since I've had it (only 3 weeks max) .. TPS failed apparently, which caused it to drop at least one cylinder while driving along.. lol scarey! and the stupid TCS problem I was having..

was it a mistake to buy one lol!!!! I hope not...

Hey mate,

sucks to hear that about your car. what is TPS?

Only problems I have had are the following:

brake shudder and needing new pads every 15 000 kms.

engine cutting out and losing power once a few weeks ago, ford couldnt find a fault

loose exhaust within 1 week, and then more recently rattling due to being too low.

I hope this is the last time you need to take to to ford for a long long time.

Yeah, ford said it happened to one guy heaps from Taupo to Auckland and they couldnt find out what it was, basically there is no power and to reset it, turn off and turn on again.

Cheers!
