Hi Guys
Names Danny from Perth. Just picked up a ruff xm ute. Always enjoyed tinkering with cars but lately I've been into 4x4s. This is my first attempt at a resto, thats why I bought a cheap car in case it doesn't work out. Looking at keeping the interior/ exterior standard but would like to put a 302 auto in. No idea how to do it so there will be questions, probably stupid ones. Cheers Danny |

There are numerous threads in both the Tech portal and the contemporary area of the forum with information about the central locking actuators. Cheers Russ

I recently bought a 2002 ford falcon au III forte from a private seller. The car is very good and has done 130K. I checked everything on the car except the central locking on the rear doors. I noticed that when I came home after buying the car. Its a classic example of the very thing you don't check on a 2nd hand car doesn't work. Grrrrr...
The Problem : After I have locked the car when I try to open any of the rear 2 doors from the outside it unlocks the whole car :( I read a few threads and I think that the actuators on both the rear doors are gone. If I want to do that myself how simple is it to do that? Moreover, does anyone know where I can find wreckers in Adelaide? |

Hi ,Happy New Year to all. I am new to forum although have been a browser and learnt allot from threads.I had an XB fairmont wagon,great car ,sold it to a restorer,now have EL, with transmission woes,problem was ,sometimes trans would not change into 3rd,it would go back to 1st. After 2 services,replaced solenoids,new TPS,new transducer,new inhibitor switch,another ECU,changed relays,new earth's,lots of frustration and scratching of head,problem still there.However today I jiggled the round harness connection a bit and it has come good,nice and smooth changes, so tomorrow it's off to the wreckers for a wiring loom . Also I noticed left headlight globe was loose and needed to be pushed and turned for a tight fit. I hope this will fix it,both mechanic and trans specialist said the problem was electrical,even though there were no codes showing.

Hello all, and Happy New Year.
My Ford: 1999 AU1 XR8 IRS Manual Sedan, in silver. I've owned it for about a year, spending the time and money to bring it back to life after a tough life in the country. No pics yet, but I'm sure you can use your imagination - it's got the optional bodykit, roof, and 17s. It's now done almost 200k, with fresh suspension and some decent brakes. I may be looking for some advice in the near future regarding making some more subtle improvements - I want to keep the car looking as close to stock as possible, but use it for the odd track day without it being a nuisance on the road. Headers & exhaust (so I can hear the damn thing above 3500rpm) for a start, I daresay... Anyhow, enjoy 2013, and I look forward to chatting further in the future. Rors |
