    Guys

    i boy has inherited a XG Ute from my uncle , 220k on clock . His first car all good until he lost keys.

    took vin number to ford and they ordered keys , they didnt fit. Told barrels must have been changed, 

    so ordered set of three from auto shop . Had a hell of a time getting old one out but got there in end.

    went to put in replacement and it didn’t line up with mechanism . Have tried turning internals with screw driver but it seems locked up.

    moved wheel back and forwards no difference. Can’t dismantle anything as it’s all security bolts ect.

    where to from here guys . I was able to start car when I had remnants of old barrel all but removed using a screw driver but once I have barrel out can’t get it back in 

    happy at present to swap Ute for beer

    Annoying newby here.

    So correct me,please but I can but a set of extractors on the newly acquired xg ute and put on a system without the cat .

    From what I can see on the pictures on eBay I still need to screw the 02 sensor back in???

    The u beaut ute is blowing more soot than an old 1hz cruiser....

    If I pull the vac line off the fuel reg should the engine tune change, if it doesn't is it knackered

    Seriously black fumes out the exhaust

    Running ruff, will idle

    Any thing obvious I should look for , wasted $90 on 02 sensor by the looks
