    AU Falcon ignition assembly

    I had a locksmith say something similar last week about "needing 2 keys for reprogramming" I just thought he was daft Well, ill get in touch with him again and ill get this old broken barrel out and go from there. Will be a after xmas thing now i reckon but that's ok.

    AU Falcon ignition assembly

    I guess its Smartlock?? Ill check tomorrow if i can swap the lock sensor but the original lock barrel is ka-put. Somebody smashed a big phillips head screw driver down the ignition barrel and it can't be turned now to remove just the barrel. I was hoping to just remove and replace just the barrel but i can't remove it from the rest of the ignition body hence why i just swapped the entire unit over. Are you thinking "if i can remove the original damaged barrel and i remove the barrel from the new lock and swap it over" it might start up??

    AU Falcon ignition assembly

    Hey team I have just replaced the entire AU Falcon ignition assembly on a 1999 XR6 Falcon due to the old one being damaged with a big screwdriver and hammer by a previous owner. Anyway... I guess i now have to re-program the 2nd hand/new assembly and transponder to the rest of the car so it will start. Is this a simple operation?? I did one in a EF Falcon years ago and if my memory is working, the Max Ellery repair manual said... I had to leave the ignition on for half hour and press the rear demister button 3 times?? and then the car's ECU went through the motions of relearning the ignition so it would start. I think this is what i did, was many years ago. So is this the same for AU Falcon or is it more complex?? Im not a member of any other car forums and finding info on this subject is rather difficult So help here on this topic would be super awesome.

    Which 4.0 into Ratty XF Ute?

    Build a decent fuel system for your car/engine conversion. One does not just stick a SOHC or BARRA into the hole and hope for the best. There is more to it than that. (do a BARRA conversion) Start reading what others have done with fuel systems and accelerator pedals. Then dummy up your design before going to town on the conversion. Gotta make that Throttle body work. Research Research Research = Good job.

    You got a spray gun and a compressor?? If so, just go buy a litre of Acrylic auto paint and 4 litre tin of all purpose thinners, cos you have to wash the gun out and presto, your done. I think Super cheap and nasty mix paint up?? If not, get it mixed up in an aerosol can and spray away. As Hendrix has asked you, how much do you have to paint? The car looks high in the front, is your engine out??

    XC Falcon fuel pump seal kit?

    Yeah i have searched high n low for a rebuild kit for these and to no luck. If it was the Holden Glass bowl fuel pump, it wouldn't be a prob, heaps on ebay but Ford Glass bowl fuel pumps, bugger just cant get em. Another question without starting a new thread..... The Fuel pump gasket on these things on early Falcon engines, you no between the block and the pump, why is it like 5mm thick? Does it act like a spacer and have less wear on the cam lobe to operate the fuel pump??

    Repair or Rebirth......??

    So im guessing your way a head of us here bear....... I no where the chassis number is stamped in the rad support panel of these things are and yours, the actual number part is bent out of shape??? If not im thinking... "Can you just cut the number part out of the old rad support and re'weld it into the replacement part" and carefully grind the welds down?? This would clearly save you headaches upon rego inspection time after you have made that part look neat and tidy and factory looking.

    Xf bolt on spoiler

    Ok, Im in need of this front spoiler/bar for my Project Goldie. Who's got one?? And do we have pics of this spoiler around the sides?? I been looking at pics and it looks like you can see the original XF front bar around the edges or sides of the spoiler?? Hope im wrong. Also, does it weigh much more than factory Ford front XF Bar? I dont need extra brackets and what not do i?
