Starter motor isn't on.
I'd say its needs to come apart by the sounds of it. I was a bit limited in what I could do yesterday because of an injruy, but I'll put it to the bloke, see what direction he wants to go from here.
Thanks for your time people!

Hey Guys,
We've got a bit of a dilemer.
We have a rebuilt C6, we pulled the transmission and the motor out, the C6 was rebuilt and now we're peiceing it all back together now and have the motor in.
We pieced it all back together, putting the flex plate and touque convertor on the engine would turn over, no problems at all.
We're now up to setting the timing and putting the distributor back in and need to reset the timing, however we cannot get the engine to turn over in any gear.
The tail shaft is not in the car yet so even if it was in gear, it should turn over?
Appreciate any help.

Love this trip Panko! Looks like you had a blast! The escort looks good getting along the road too!
I have a hero5 session, which isn't great for battery life (about 2 hours give or take), I'll be looking at Hero5 soon just to get some longevity out of the battery! They're a great camera

Sorry to read about this Panko.
Find out every scrap of information you can on it insurance wise. Insurance company may pay up to a dollar figure to fix it, but might also be happy for you to kick in some coin yourself to get work done.
I've only heard that in rare circumstances happening though.
Is paying the extra to get it fixed something you might consider? Especially seeings as this car holds so much centimental value to you!

Epic! I'm a fan of the silver too, but the real deal looks epic in gold! Look forward to seeing them on the car!

I can take some measurements on the weekend if you like nova
Hey man! Kinda forgot about this, but its still something I'm looking for!
Not sure if I want to tackle making one though!
-
Not known yet! because they're expensive is mostly the reason why, even as wreaks!
You can get a supercharged crate motor but from memory even those are about $18,000 with a loom etc

So its not as simple as what this guy claims in this video?
Basically Steve, Yes. But when you don't have a demister switch (Which panelvans dont!) they say to earth out a pin. They just dont tell you to earth out that pin 3 times!
-
When you're earthing it out using the second PIN, earth it out three times within the five seconds from turning the key to ACC.
Seems that little piece of information is missed out by everyone. They all say hit the demister 3 times but say nothing about earthing it out three times!!!

All fixed now

Ahh righto! No black plug, damn

Hey guys
Need to reprogram a remote for the XH,
I've tried earthing out the 2nd pin on the right hand side after turning the ignition onto ACC with no luck!
Was going to try the rear demister trick (have to find the right plug though!!)
Anyone able to get a photo of the colour of plug in the end of the rear demister switch in their EL for me? Pretty sure the econ plug has the same pins etc!

Made to look easy!

Shouldn't that be solid?

Who is this noob guy? He does post updates in his build thread any more!
Seriously would like to see what you've been up to with it Clint, I know photography has been keeping you plenty busy!
Thom is right! I think there is a couple of inches difference? How much short does it need to be?

Didn't know there was a globe in them! If there is, mine has been blown since before I got it!

Yeah, my only concern with this shit on Egay is if it includes the microphone. The button came standard but from reading further the microphone might not have!
If its the case that we need the full kit they're $330 on egay, but $395 from ford installed?

Okay guys, for future reference I found this on Fordforums!
hey mate,
Hopefuly this will give you insight to whether you have bluetooth or not.
This picture is the top of my ICC once the top hat is off.
To remove hat just pry from the front to the back slowly not to break anything.
You will see in the picture that black box with a connection going into it. that is the bluetooth module, if the box is there, you have bluetooth. May just be loosened connection (fingers crossed).
Other connections in picture are Reversing camera connection (one with no plug in it) & the other power to the ICC screen.
Take time with top hat, don't break anything!
All FG's came out with the phone button and microphone insert even though bluetooth may have not been installed. Bluetooth was only installed if requested from what I understand. If your XR had bluetooth then you should be able to see the phone section in the ICC menu. If you don't have a phone section in your ICC selection, then you don't have bluetooth. If your ICC does have the phone section in the menu but it is grayed out, then you do have bluetooth, but your module has a problem and you will need to take a trip to Ford to fix it.
You can have the factory system fitted, I did this in my XR. You will have to purchase the mic and a bluetooth module. There are three different types of modules out there for the FG;
BPM 1.0 (A Level) Pre 14/08/08
BPM 2.0 (B Level) Between 14/08/08 and 28/09/09
BPM 3.0 (C Level) Post 28/09/09
Once you have these two components, you can install it yourself or have Ford install it for you. Regardless if you install it or Ford installs it, Ford will have to activate the bluetooth module for you before it can be used. Depends on what you are prepared to spend with regard to the modules as module C is the most up to date version but cost the most out of the three. If you are just after the system to work, then look at Module A as it is the cheapest and steer clear of module B as there is connectivity issues with the iPhone 4 as it does not answer incoming calls.
Turns out it doesn't have the module, but its on egay for $160 with loom. Will ring an auto electrician tomorrow to see what the cost is to install. It'll sort dad out for what he needs it for!

Yeah, this just missed out, April. 2010 build! I'll let you know man, got onto a tech pack on eBay I think. Not 100% yet!

Hey guys!
The old man just brought an FG G6, but it only has the lowest model ICC (Interior Command Centre)
All the buttons are there to use the phone, but it doesn't seem to have the bluetooth moduel. Anyone know whats involved with installing and where you get them from, does it need a wire harness etc?
All and any help would be appreciated blokes!

SNIPFew photos there I took! I wish I had my new camera!

Been a while, but I'm thinking of heading down this path!
Any movement Thom?
-
I sold mine with the o2 sensor and some other stuff about 6 months ago, but can't remember what I asked for it!
Have a look on their website and eBay to see what they're going for?

I know theres nothing wrong with the starter because, although it was fitted, I had to remove it for another reason.
