Thanks giantlobster,

Look forward to seeing your beast.

After I picked up my car I discovered the dealer accidentally fitted the Ford Tow Pack. The mix up stems from the fact that I did originally order the ford tow kit then changed my mind after my lease got approved. In any case the dealer has been kind enough to change it over for me.

Turns out that they now have to remove the the entire tow setup as the Hayman Reece load levelers do not match up with the ford tow pack.

Best surprise I had was this afternoon. My brother popped over for a quick spin and decided to check out my boot. Well bugger me but it was then I discovered a full size spare in my boot. Is the full size spare standard on the 50th Anniversary or did I just get lucky.

All,

I recently drove past a Ford Dealership and checked out a brand new XR6T (not a 50th Ann) and noticed the inter coolers were different,

the one at the dealership had an all silver inter cooler where mine is painted black at the ends.

Are they still the same or is there a difference between the two?

Just curious.

Cheers,

Chris

It's plastic, not paint. Will hold stock boost fine though we haven't seen one with upped boost yet I think? It was pointed out that radiators have plastic end tanks and hold big pressure fine.

Thanks for the feedback SteveR,

Any idea why they changed it on the 50th Ann. Even the inter cooler itself looks like more like a radiator with the fins across the centre.

So no one at this stage has modded the 50th Ann?

Just curious to find out at what stage the inter cooler would need to be replaced of you were to go in search of more power.

Thanks again for your help.

Bugger me giantlobster,

I'll double check my paperwork just in case.

I have never bothethered with full sized spares in the past so its not something I was even intertested in ordering.

Not sure if the Fleet Manager did it as a thank you gift as its the 3rd car I have ordered through him.

Apologies SteveR, just found the posts you were referring to. Thanks again for your help.

Hi all, ordered a silver manual sedan XR50T at the start of Nov and it arrived on Wednesday. Space saver spare was standard (the full size was an option). Got window tint and 1600kg tow pack for free. Loving it!!
