Hi everyone, Thanks so much for your replies . Bit of backround on what i am doing I had a au 1 trayback it was white anyway I have completely dismantled it and painted it metallic gunmetal grey I put in a mew dedicated gas motor and gearbox, then I bought a series 2 ghia and put the front end in then I installed the climate control and all the woodgrain dash etc( basically the complete ghia interior) had it all finished but then discovered I had to change the wiring looms to the series 2 apparantly the pinouts are not exactly the same so I had to dismantle it and start again (((((( Does anybody know what I do about the abs brakes my car didn't have them orginally but will i need to put them in so the computer sees them (not sure here I am a builder not a mechanic lol) anyway it will be worth it it looks like a show car Thanks again everyone ........ Steve

Hello I need to change my gas converter I was wondering do i need to decant the tanks before I disconnect the gas line from the converter or do the tank solenoids prevent the gas flow .... btw the battery and wiring is out of the car........ thanks Steve

Hello everyone, I have fitted an au 2 ghia dash to my series 1 ute I have changed all the wiring looms to the series 2 including the ecu etc. but was wondering about the abs system if the ecu doesn't find it will I have issues and if so how hard is it to retro fit the system I have installed the series 2 front end so i guess it is just the module and the sensors and brake lines but if i don;t need to do it i won't bother but I am wondering about the electronics not finding the system ...... any thoughts ? thanks Steve

Hello everybody, I am trying to reconfigure my au falcon ute series 1 I have installed a high series ghia dash and have change the engine bay wiring to the series 2 the trouble is my ute is dedicated gas and all the new electronics have come from a petrol ghia I have the wiring diagrams etc to wire in the lpg but none of the wire colours match the manual not to sure what is going on there they are from a ford workshop manual so IDK also how do you identify the pin numbers in the EEC I cant find anything on that coulsd somebody please help the whole car is totally restored but it wont go (((( Thanks Guys Steve

Hi mate thanks for that I wasn't to concerned about the traction control I was just concerned if the comutuer didnt find it things may not work thats all .... any thoughts Have a good new year Steve

Hello everybody I want to upgrade my brakes in my series 1 ute to a series 2 with the full abs system just want to know do I need the brake booster utc where the pedal is connected I am changing the wiring harness to the series 2 as I have installed a fairmont dash etc. Also given that the fairmont sedans have traction control what happens about that in a ute I am just a little bit lost about that . I have changed all the mechanical parts in the front end to the series 2but I think I need the abs system so the computer understands what is going on ..... Thanks for any advice !!!!!! Happy new year Regards Steve

I see yes well my is a ghia so I guess full wiring loom change over do you know is the e-gas loom just an additional plug in th the standard loom thanks again

hI mate thanks for getting back to me yes it is a ghia high series dash you mentioned before it requires a full loom change do you still think that is the case earlier you mentioned changing some wires and things all the dash works but it wont start although I havent tried too hard to start it do you thinh it is because of the wiring in the engine bay just let me know what you think and I wont annoy you anymore till its finished and I will post some pics ..... Thanks Mate regards Steve

Hi mate do you know which wires and plugs etc I have to change ? some people on other forums seem sure I have to change the entire loom to a high series 2/3 I just dont know though I put a battery in and all the dash functions worked fine the motor cranked over but did not start I really dont want to pull it all apart again as it is finished what do you think ~!!!!! Thanks mate

Hi what colour codes are you referring too not sure I still have to change the engine bay wiring to the series 2/3 to suit the latter dash don't I are you just referring to the fuel gauge Thank mate regards steve

Just wondering as my car is a ute what happens about the traction control do I just not worry about it .... thanks steve

Hi everybody, Thanks for the replies I have changed all the under car stuff that is mentioned, I am in the process of installing the series 2 engine bay wiring harness so my series 2 high series 2 dash works correctly so it all sounds pretty straight forward so what is the deal with using braided brake lines will I be able to get these off a wreck or are they an after market thing and if so where do i get them .... thanks again regards Steve
