The best place would be http://www.fordforums.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=241

Or if you want to do it the slow way
Club and Speciality Forums.. then... Forum Community Car Clubs... then... AU Falcon.com.au

Hi Everyone, I've owned falcons for many years and decided to sign up to talk to like minded people for both solutions and the problems. Looking forward to further conversations.

sam.jury · 13-01-2013, 06:28 PM

Hi all. 25 from Melbourne here have been browsing on here a while but only just joined up. My partner and I have an 05 BAMKII xr6 turbo currently with a few issues. Having just moved to Melbourne and driving a petroleum land cruiser from rowville to Williamstown every day I decided another card is required and an E series falcon it will be....but anyways heres a couple of quick pics of the xr6

Hello, Just joined looking on getting good ideas and gaining experince from fellow members

westie01 · 13-01-2013, 10:27 PM

WELL finally I am back being a FORD owner after many years playing with other brands. After the 22 Jan I will have a TE 6 cyl Auto in original condition and will just set about bringing it back to showroom condition.
I know there are a lot that do the conversion to V8 Etc. but these days and the boys in blue just wanting an excuse to hand you a bit of paper I feel keep it standard and show it for what it is.
I am getting on in years (60) but put big power under an old righthand foot is asking for trouble, I don't care but it is the nature of the beast.
The 250 cross flow is no slouch when tuned correctly and that is all I want, at this stage.

I am looking forward to catching up with some of you around the show arena I will be the one with camera and asking stupid questions.

I am looking for an original granpa spec TC/TD 6cyl Auto

Hi all,
I have been lurking on this site for some time so I thought it was time I joined.
Regards

Doug Seymour · 14-01-2013, 08:34 AM

Greetings members. I find we have an EA sedan in the drive. Our first Ford.

Has anyone had doors auto locking when you shut the drivers door? Ah, it has stopped doing this and now no doors lock. The plungers just spring back up. Smart Lock light flashes when ignition off.

Best Doug

Have a quick read of these two tutorials - they are for the Territory but the process is much the same. Ignition Barrel Removal and Repair Ignition lock

bkgee · 14-01-2013, 01:27 PM

Can someone help me with my EL Falcon. We have no dash lights and have removed the cluster and have changed the bulbs. Put the cluster back in place and plugged both plugs in, but not much success, some worked but not all of them. We replaced 16 bulbs. Anyone got any ideas as we cant see the instruments at night. Thanks.

Regards Brad.

Blazin' · 14-01-2013, 08:33 PM

G'day guys! Never owned a Ford but am currently looking into buying one, and if I do I imagine I will be a regular on here. Currently, I'm looking at anything from AU-FG haha, depends how far I can stretch my $$$. Saw some FG's go at auction today for around $7k... which got me thinking :P
Currently I drive a '97 Mitsubishi Verada with a few small mods. I dunno what you guys think of 'em round these parts, but they're a damn good car and a lot of bang for your buck. I just feel like something different, and probably a bit newer

greenxa351 · 14-01-2013, 09:24 PM

Hello
My name is Chris, I am a motorcycle mechanic from Victoria and I love Australian and American muscle cars from the 60s and 70s.
Some of you may already know me from the XAGT site.
I own 2 XA Falcons, one is a Jewel Green 500, the other is a calypso green gt manual with a white interior and factory air.
I hope to get the GT back on the road soon, it has been 3 years since I have driven it.

Cheers Chris

ChilliChadd · 15-01-2013, 12:10 AM
