I have a 2009 FG XR6 and it has just stopped on me and it will not start it says SYSTEM COMMS FAULT. What the hell has happened. It tells me to take it to a Ford dealer. i have a complete 2009 G6E Turbo so parts are not a problem. Where do i start? i am a qualified Diesel Tech so i am mechanically competent.

Hi all;
First post on this forum and I'm now the proud owner of a 1999 au ford series 1. I bought this car of a mate of mine that i have know for the last 40 odd years. This is the second ford that i have owned as i used to own a old xb wagen that i used as a work truck for a number of years till i up graded to valiant wagen. Any way back to the au, this was bought from of a dealer in Melbourne and only had 45,000 Kms on the clock when my mate bought it. He did a few things to the au , mainly the roof lineing had droped and a couple of shock in the back.

The au had a few dings ( nothing major ) from the previous owner. A full service was also forth comeing. My mate had purchesed the au so as to transport his wife back and forth to hospital. Unfortuanly she pased away a couple of monthe ago.

My mate also had a Landrover discovery TD5 and his wifes own car and now the au had become supless to his needs.

This is were i purchesed the car and have never been happyer, car is very quiet, has a lot of power drives and handles ........well like a good car should do !!

As for the fuel consumption, On leaving Melbourne i filled the petrol tank up at calder thunder dome, set the cruse controle for 100 Kph and drove home, except for a stop in Bendigo, I pushed further homewards ( I live in Mildura ). After 527 Kms i had arived home and refilled the tank, and i got quiet a supprise to find that i only was able to squeeze in 38 Ltr of fuel .

This i later worked out to about 7.5 Ltrs per 100 Kms. This i found rearly good for a car that has a curb weight of about 1.5 ton. I'm realy impressed with the fuel consumtion. I used to have a 1985 Mazda 323 with a 5 speed box, and this was sold to my nice in Melbourne when i drove it to Melbourne to pick up my au ford and while this returned 34 Ltrs for the same trip( filled up in Mildura and a gain at calder ) the ford was way better and a lot more comfortable than the little mazda ( and when sold it it had only 83,000 Kms. I hade purchesed it from my wife Aurnt when she was unable to drive any more ).

So what now, well i have had most of the dings adressed by a panel beater and now the car looks a lot better.
I have traced a original cd radio for the au ( ebay ) and I'm just waiting for it to turn up and i will fit that and do away with the original cassette radio ( yuck ).

My ford NOW has only just under 48,000 Kms on the clock, so all good, lets hope i have aloooooong relationship with the au.
