Sunday Telegraph Sydney & Fords

[bindi]

Did anyone read today (24th April)'s Sunday Telegraph? Besides being a total rag of a newspaper, it had an article in the Cars Guide insert.

The title of the article was "Ford's quick fix leaves owners with a sour taste" and goes on to discuss the issues that some BA XR6 Turbo owners are having with Ford. Apparently a few of the cars have had problems with "overboosting" and Ford, on the quiet, have instructed service departments to "fix" the problem by recalibrating the computer. Then the owners come back to get their cars and find there is a sudden downturn in power and acceleration.

Some guy has even put this sticker on the back window of his car: " THIS CAR IS A LEMON. 18 times back to Ford and it still isn't right. Mainly engine problems. XR6 Turbo a fast car?- when it works! Should have bought an SS Commodore".

I'm just on my way to check out the website quoted, www.fordxr6turbo.com

Has anyone heard about this and has anyone had these problems? Just nobody's mentioned it on here is all.
