    ba dash gear display not changing

    That display is set by the inhibitor switch on the side of the trans. You must have a fault in it.

    AU/BA front end into XD/XE

    I can’t recall it being done in this forum. I do remember a thread on another forum ( either Australian ford forum or xfalcon) where they guy was fitting a ba front end and boss motor into a purple xe.

    Or even attempting to get the security bolts undo to remove the ecu. I have done it on a ute that was miss firing and as I poured the water it stopped the miss. I did another 20,000km in that ute with no further problems

    No. It’s Fords fix. It works.

    Sorry, only just saw this post. BAs were reknowned for dry solder joints in the ecu which causes random misses. Boil the kettle and pour it over the ecu, it will soften the solder inside and fix the joints. Be wary changing spark plugs in these as they snap in the head. The first of them had problems with the timing chain tensioners, you hear it clattering on a cold start up and if it is really bad the noise will always be there.

    Ok, it’s probably not worth the cost to post second hand hoses that far. Try www.sparesbox.com.au they have 20% off through eBay at the moment

    Where are you located? I have heaps of xg cooling system stuff like good second hand hoses etc..

    transit vans

    Totally utterly agree. I can’t tell people strongly enough to avoid buying a icrap. The cost of parts are just astronomical and every time something goes wrong it requires major work. People use these to make their livelyhood, it won’t do that sitting there broken down.

    Well you are going to need to hook up the hoses ASAP to avoid overheating at the back of the motor

    Confused XG project

    I saw this too. I’m guessing it doesn’t have a thermostat in it as the water won’t circulate with it shut. It looks like a part fix for a leaking heater core. It looks to be bypassed in other photos. That other thing is definitely an electro magnet. I’m curious to know where the wires go.

    DECENT 14 inch Tyres

    Maxxis IS Cheng shin tyre company. They made up the name because the Americans ( fuck yeah ) weren’t buying “ Chinese shit”. Dumb asses.

    DECENT 14 inch Tyres

    I’ll have to take a photo of the tyres we have on the Xr6 . They were $105 each for 245/40/18 . They are the stickiest quietest and hardest wearing tyre we have had. We went over corrugated roads in the Pilliga ranges that were notorious for cutting up tyres, we had nothing. I looked up reviews on them and the only bad review said they were no good in snow and ice ( derr). They are Chinese made and come out of the same factory as Dunlop’s. Edit: Sold by Beta tyres in girraween ( around the corner from vg auto paints )

    transit vans

    They are a ginormous hunk of shit. You are better off blowing your money on drugs and alcohol. At least you won’t suffer while wasting your money.

    WEIRD 84 CROSSY REBUILD XE XF ?

    A decent runner in Sydney is more than that, a rebuildable engine would get $200. A good runner is $400- $500. It sounds like you could do with some extra $$$ after reading your thread so don’t sell yourself short.

    Slightly off topic, Trailer Bearings

    Good advice here! Once again Penrite shines through, a great Australian company!

    Thom's 4.0l thread

    I was thinking to flow more for bigger injectors but then again, I have no idea how restrictive or free flowing the standard rail is.

    Thom's 4.0l thread

    Is there any performance gain out of a billet rail ( thinking more fuel flow )? Or is it simply something you can shine?

    Thom's 4.0l thread

    Everything else is crap other than genuine, Dave is right, they are no longer available. If you can’t find an auto electrician that can rebuild one properly use these guys https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222751260976
