paint fade on AU-FG, Terry and VE.
headlight oxidation on the same above. Haven’t notice it as much in FG though.
Hood lining sagging is common on them as well after 15 years.
Standard spec has no external trans cooler on them.
territory and B series rust issues less than five years from new. In a country where 85% of the population lives within 50km from the coast.
Territory and B series ball joints. Control blade IRS bushes. Most of the later models come with larger alloys and low profile tyres.
Falcon seat bases that collapse within 100,000km, giving the driver a dead **** on a drive longer than going down the road. Weak seat bases in a country that ranks 6th in obesity OECD.

All this stuff just convinces me to keep operating with an older non electronic fleet.
Funny enough all basecoat white in colour.

I feel for Hayseed with the red (pink) fleet.
