    XH door locks keep cycling

    Body control module? I know that the drivers side sticks a bit! I'll give it a go So the actuators themselves? Failing the other stuff might give it a go this weekend!

    Will this work?

    Pretty sure Steve Mcqueen installed a smartlock by pass? But think an auto sparky did that for him!

    My AU is having a problem.

    Mines a 90 litre (72 usable.) I usually fill it when its just flicked over to the read light and its between $55 and $60. If I run the tank dry, depending on what type of driving I do I can get from 450 to 550 kms out of a tank. Although then its closer to the $65 to $70 mark to fill up again.

    It all depends on tuning on duel fuel I guess, Wagon was about the same as the pano.

    That's incorrect, I run the Pano on LPG And when you use it all the time (like I do) its cheaper in the long run! $50 per 300kms on gas, $80 per 300kms on petrol

    My 79 TE Cortina Ghia

    So I've read this before and thought I'd already commented, obviously I hadn't! My dad had one, we sold it last year to a young girl for her first car! His was the reverse colour of yours! Will always have a soft spot for this! One of my good mates ZGMitch302 still has his first one! Bright orange 250, 4 speed wagon! Anyways, just thought I'd show some affection!

    XF Ghia Heater Issue

    Other then the vacuum line not being connected properly, only other thing I can think of is the vacuum line is split? This is a puzzling one dude! Coming into winter you'll need those heaters!!
  15. Looks like Daves, Robbie would be able to clarify!

    XG Smartlock Mysteries......

    ^^When doing this, wouldn't it be a good idea to remove your coil lead?

    Handbrake Issue

    True that. Be interested to see if any engineers could perhaps give an explanation as well!

    Handbrake Issue

    Displacement of weight is a huge factor though Dean? Same as when driving and pulling up, the front brakes do most of the work?

    Handbrake Issue

    If it makes sense and nothing else can explain it why not? Think about it, how long could you hold 10 kgs at your side, as opposed to holding the same 10 kgs above your head!

    Want a guide to V8ing a TE corty

    Windsor block fits easier then a clevo from what I've heard!

    Handbrake Issue

    I can explain it! Its all to do with the amount of weight behind the wheels that pulling up the load to stop. When the ute is facing up hill, majority of the weight is forcing back, making it so more weight is pushing it back down hill. When the ute is facing down hill, majority of the weight is being suspended, less effort (or force) is required to hold the load. Hows that!
