Better battery has cured most problems on this. Just need to sort the gas change-over problem now along with a new mirror and she's apples

I will mention this has a new alt on it already. Got my eyes on a replacement battery. Hopefully have this thing going right by the weekend

Bit of an update on this. Been flat out and not able to do much on it. Got some new fan relays and did a coolant sensor on this. Upshot is the fans seem cured but the car is still playing up. I got it jumpstarted and let it idle whilst I was doing something else, 3mins later it died and was un-able to start it again. So I jumped it again and got in the car and held the revs up to 2000, I pressed the power window switch to open it and it instantly died. I'm now thinking it could be the shitty battery causing 90% of the issues. Can anyone confirm a bad battery could be ruining my day?

My xe fairmont had these fitted when I bought it years ago. Ugly things, always thought they were a dealer option

Nice one. Saves repairing panel damage

Yes it's not an x-series but nevertheless it's a falcon. I want to switch from a dinged up and paint peeled tub to a hard to break tray. Is it as easy as unbolting the tub, bolting up the tray and doing some wiring on the tail-lights and plumbing up the fuel filler? #projectsellthisute

Thanks dave. I was pretty sure coilpack was a cuprit. But will try the others too

Had a big block of text written up but can't be bothered re-typing. Long story short, cars been sitting for 2 months, parked up because breaking down alot. Main problems - Runs abit rough off idle and when the idle control kicks in at the lights but otherwise like a clock.(already changed spark plugs) - Fans either stay on for no reason or don't work at all when driving (temp gauge reads normal) - Car conked out after driving 20km, started running like it has no fuel for about 20sec then died, couldnt restart it at all. Trying help my bro inlaw out by fixing it and selling it off. Where should I start?

I did the same thing to my mounts, I ended up cutting and shutting them about 20mm I think. As long as your not in a hurry to take off your radiator cap it works perfect. Keep up the good work.

Ford explorer rear ends are 31 spline AFAIK and cheap. Grab one and get it cut up, poor mans 9 inch. Hth

Wow. How does a stock computer have 2 tune settings? Bunch of shit IMO, wouldn't trust that info. Check it out yourself piece by piece and approach everything as a stock component. Good luck with it all, theres bones of a decent unit there

Must need a turbo then haha

Ive got some 5.3 LSs coming in from the US. Just sayin

I did this when putting my engine together. Almost 10,000km later and 14psi she is still working as intended. Helicoil ftw

If its already club reg'd then you're ok since you fall under the existing rules (no rwc needed) which state the car must be 'in a safe drivable condition' or something similar. The only issue would be questionable mods that weren't shown to your club inspector at the time of inspection, thus potentially landing them in a world of shit. But you'd have to be pulled over for that to happen. I'd say go for it, technically it's legal.
