Cheers@Seamus And@deankxf ill take plenty of pictures taking it out and apart as a walk through. Planning to upgrade the globes within the cluster for the backlight and warnings too Sent from my SM-S908E using Tapatalk

I've started having some minor issues with the cluster in my XF. I've had it out previously to replace the odo gears and fixed that issue but now I've got some other seemingly electric issues cropping up. 1) The temp sensor climbs and jumps around. Or will just sit at half where it normally evens out. 2) occasionally the dash will lose all illumination and sensors. Found a quick tap on the front can bring it back. 3) dash loses all sensor display and then just shows clock. Last time came up with Er 2 code before showing clock again. From research I suspect old/dry connections are most likely the issue. This will be a cluster out and investigate. I will also be attempting to clean and re-solder joins. If any one has any advice please comment to help out. I will also take pictures and ad them in as a guide for the future Sent from my SM-S908E using Tapatalk

Would you like a TI chip? I ended up getting mine tuned with a different chip so I have a un used TI chip just sitting in the center console Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

Hey mate. They used the EB engine harness and ECU and kept the XF dash wiring. No smart lock but they did fit a new alarm demobiliser Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

The v8 input shift is definitely longer. I had both manual boxes sitting side by side at 1 point. The v8 factory bellhousing was deeper, I'm assuming for a bigger clutch assembly. Can't remember if there was much difference in shifter extension but the v8 box would have sat back a bit further just from that Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

Hi yeah I have a windsor motor in my XF. It's a 92 EB GT motor in a 86 XF s-pack. I can measure some stuff if you need? Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

Good news is someone has put a drain in which is handy. Looks a little wet around it which isn't ideal though Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

So reckon 85W140 is the go then? How much will I need? I need to go to bigger town tomorrow to get windscreen replaced on my ranger so while I'm out I'll be able to swing by repco or similar Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

I'm going to jack it up tonight and check if it is lsd first. Then drop the oil and get fresh stuff. Previous owner has told me he didn't touch the diff and before he got it it was in storage for years. But it public holiday today in WA so can't get anything Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

Definitely not a chirp or scrub. This is a clunk that shudders the whole car just about. Almost made me think it was steering before I listened a bit closer Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

I'm unsure. Just got told it's LSD Could be any brand Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

The other factor about it is it only does it once its warmed up. From cold it's fine. No noise at all Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

I'm new to a driving a car with a 9 inch diff. My XF has one fitted which is engineered and passed with all the other mods. At low speeds when cornering I get a clunking sort of noise and bit of shake. Through the drive train which the missus freaked out over. Driving straight its fine. Tiny bit of whine under load which goes when take foot off. Unsure what it could be. Diff is ford 9". Was told it had 3.55 ratio gears with tight LSD Any help from the brains trust much appreciated Sent from my SM-N981B using Tapatalk

The new one I got for my ute was off ebay for $119 I think. All around the edge it has a soft felt underlining. It even came with viynl sleeves for the bars Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
