Power widows will not go up. Several windows affected. Pulled out switches and then pulled the switch apart and cleaned contacts. Even though the contacts were pitted. Used what is called micro-scrub contact cleaner (similar to a scourer). No problems since.

Tryin this forums stuff for the first time!! Have seen water entry from seams where the rear quarter meets the boot surround (sometimes you can see small gaps where filler has been missed). If all else fails, jump in the boot with a torch and get someone to spray around the rear windsreen and around the boot, works most of the time. wes |

How does a broken ariel mast present itself does your ariel not go up or down or is the reception stuffed. My reception is stuffed but i think it is getting interference from the RDP ecu doobee i had installed.

I have an AU2 and my transmission keeps slipping while im driving which causes it to jerk. I happens no matter how long i have been driving for. Does anyone know what might be wrong. It also stalls sometimes for no reason, usually around corners. Help!

I believe that means the actuator in that door is faulty and needs replacing.

Having killed my DL LTD a couple of weeks ago after using a lexus as a bonnet ornament I now find myself the proud and happy owner of a 2000 model AU LTD so far so good, runs like a train, got the usual intermitent missing digits on the LCD display thingy (thanks to everyone who posted the dude in Morrabin's contact details, will be calling him Monday) the only thing that bugs me now is a slight hissing sound when I accelerate,it dies off once you back off the pedal. seems to be coming from under the dash on the drivers side, no real impact on performance just annoying anyone had a similar problem?
I had a similar thing on the DL just before the brake booster crapped itself but there is no reduction in braking efficency like there was with the DL. Oh and hats off to the morons at ford who wrote the owners manual... had to reset the alarm (not difficult) but the manual says nothing about holding in the bonnet open switch or getting your ears blown out not to mention waking up everyone for 2 blocks at 7am on a saturday morning. Little things aside I love my new beastie and hope it proves as trouble free as my dearly departed and sorely missed DL |

I have an AUII, 2001 XR8 with in-dash 6 stacker. (20,000K's)
The CD's keep getting jammed in the player, and can't be removed. It has been repaired twice before, but keeps on happening. Does anyone know if an aftermarket CD system will fit?? If so, type etc Thanks Mark |

Just had the body control module replaced on my car. Got Ford to do the install as I didn't trust the local auto electrician as I think he stuffed original module whilst installing replacement aerial but couldn't prove it. Cost $850 ouch! Beware people.

Damn ... I have a spare BEM sitting at home ... could have had it for $20.
I know an auto electrician that can reprogram the BEM as well.

Have an AUII S/SR. Had it for 200km
1. The battery holder in the remote comes off. 10 min soldering job (if that!) and they're both working A-OK. 2. Driving along, and then all of a sudden there was no power steering fluid. Wretched noise, no P/S. Tightened bolts, filled it up and on my way (happened less than 3 hours after I got it - the rack was replaced by Ford about 50,000km ago.....). 3. Rough idle. Under investigation. |

Dirty contacts under the power window switch ... pop the panel out of the door and clean the contacts underneath ... this SHOULD fix it ... other than that ... the plug might have moved and lost connection too.

Yep I have the same problem and are anxious for an answer on this ASAP! I also get a large "crack" sound emitting from the front passenger door/ jam/dash area when I go over harsh / sharp bumps and it's totally annoying. Anyone else have this and found a resolution? |
