Hey guys! This is a pic of my beast:
SAM_1444 3.jpg
Known as The Soviet Tank, or by some as The Vacuum, because it picks up all the chicks

My Nanna and Poppa gave me my first car for free! But it's gonna cost me a fair bit to get it into roadworthy condition. I've already spent almost $700 on new tyres and rear brakes, and I replaced the driver side lock, (the door wouldn't close beforehand).

My aim is to get it into a really good mechanical working order. I figure that if I take care of it, it should take care of me. Currently though, the odometer doesn't work; it's stuck on ~278k km's. It's got a hyperactive right indicator, the "Red Bull Blinker". Plus some other things: idler arms/front shock absorbers worn, power steering box leaks, AC/power steering belts worn, plus a few other niggly things.

And along with getting it into a good working order, hopefully fuel efficiency/performance will come along with it.

Overall I just wanna tinker and learn. I'm studying engineering at the moment, but I get pretty obsessed with doing something hands-on seeing as I spend so much time in lecture theatres. I know I'll learn heaps here, and hopefully I can reciprocate one day

G'day all you Blue oval nutters out there. Names Dan and have just become a member of this site of awesome ford info. I have been an early Falcon man for as long as I can remember Coupes, Utes, PV'S, and now have my first XK wagon to fiddle with. Hence joining this forum. to find helpful tech info on my old girl. She's a completely original 08/62 XK, unrestored but does need a fair bit of work unfortunately. Will post some pics as I go if anyone would like to see.
Cheers and keep up the great posts. !!!

I have custody of a Ford F100 1978 cab chassis 2WD fitted with a 351C and 4 speed.

Basically factory stock condition with an aluminium drop side tray, airbag rear assist, Monroe gas shocks. Nothing else that I can see.
289k klms with a few issues to sort out.
It runs and drives OK.

Hello All,

I have just picked up a nice EL Auto XR6, near mint condition stock standard with low K's, so it will be good to see some tech knowledge and advice. 1st question of the rack is do these late EL XR6s come with a standard wiring loom connection to add cruise control straight on to ? ,I have found a connection plug where I think the Cruise Control Module connector should go, the car has ABS, Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to AFF, your best bet would be to ask in the Post Classic forum, someone there should be able to help.

G’day folks,
Took delivery of our new Ranger 2021.25 PXIII Super Cab/PU last month with pre-rego GVM upgrade and alloy tray fitted.
Being our first Ford 4WD we are keen to pick-up on any any tips and advice this forum provides.
We will take delivery of a new Slide-on Camper, hopefully by the end of May, do a few relatively local shake-down trips and then head north from Brisbane to do the big lap.
Looking forward to the opportunity to following-up this intro with a post seeking advice on a matter relating to the Ranger’s “exposed” rear lighting wiring loom.
Cheers

g'day from Geelong. Ranger wildtrack 2016 as tow for 19.6 caravan for a couple of working on the road retirees

Good morning fellow Ford owners. My name is Bill and I have recently purchased an FN Mustang GT and I am curious to see if other Mustang owners have taken advantage of the Tickford 400 power pack. I like the idea but the power increase from a tune only seems a bit ambitious. Has anybody got any feedback for me as I don't want to waste my money.

Cheers Bill
