sway bar link would be close for sure

as sprky dave said there is a dimple in the door and 32mm

Tags are a bit plain to the a standard plate a dean said, plates where near the shock tower not the firewall. NZ may had different or may just be someone mad up. that colour you would be better with colour match, to many variables for a a code mix.

My first point of call would be custom sunroof in maidstone. Have not been there for years but if the original owner is still there Peter he would no if seals are still available or not. Dale

can't say i have done it but would bet it is he same column. back in the day i changed many XD/E columns to xg tibbe locks and surrounds

it is all a compromise with the length of the rods and travel you require . get one handle working and then introduce the second handle the rods may need to be shorten, I normally bend them to and put a small S shape in it if it has not not got enough travel take some of the kink out to lengthen it. make shore the kiddy lock is not on and the rods don't fight each other and lockup i have access to a right rear door I will check when I get home if it helps

you will most likely find the selector shaft is worn. they all are. 20 years ago i would change out a single rails on a regular basis to 2 reasons . selector rail shaft or ir the notch in the selector fork. speedo sender out remove the roll pin from the selector take off remote and ext housing Dale

if you are having speedo issue check the Dash earth As Dean said check the 3 wires running to to the sender. Another issue can be if the loom running to the gearbox, if t is not tied up it can rub up near the bel housing. Rub through causing intermitent short. You can take the speedo out of the econogauge dash and put it in the spack dash. XD to XE s spack dash have 2 differences. XD have 2 different oil gauges so XD early oil gauge is different to Late XD and XE, the resistance changes with a differnt sensor And of Course Tach 6cyl to V8 Dale

am thinking it may have been made bigger. I put the motor inthe car in a hurry. Did the drive around at the time with not much luck to source new one. here i go again thanks guys

this one must have been tapped out already then as it is bigger thanks

Does any one knows if the sump plug thread on the Cleveland is larger on the later models Most the info on the net say it is 1/2inch. The ones on eBay that state size say 1/2 inch. The one in mine is larger? Trying the get a new one. I always thought they were all the same Cleveland crossflow. The socket I use is 3/4. I have another Cleveland her that takes a 7/8 socket?

zl floor is the same as xe, it only changed in late xf utes and vans

Plugs are different but wire colour codes should be all the same

XE tail lights have always been the preferred, hence the shortage of XD. When the Taiwan replacement parts started to flood the market with the likes of SSS most XD were becoming XE and F’s. A V8 later looking Car. You could get after marked XD but demand not there hence there demise. Dale

The early block distributed has the larger shaft, out side diameter. It is actually a imperial diameter 1/2”. The black block outside diameter is metric 12.5mm and smaller. The smaller diameter in the later block enables you to use them in the early block, chestnut mentioned that the can fog out them out quick. To overcome this you can machine a extra bush in the base of the distributor to support the shaft and stop run out. In the mid nineties when you could still by new Bosch distrubutor ice ignition did this mod, supplied new and modded for around $600. Now the do there own ignition ignition. How the have evolved, ignition have come along way, technology and price Dale

In side the door is like a dog bone type plate capsulated in some retainers with captive nuts to allow the door to move in and out I did remove that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When lining up the doors take the striker off, I use 2 x 10mm window packers placed on the sill, sit the door on top in position and do up. It puts you in the ball park and adjust from there. A plate like dean made will last for years, if you can make one for inside the door as well so it sandwich the door between. Guard off is the best but just the inner guard will do. Window packers below but at the end of the day anything 10mm thick Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

As Dean said Ben at global trim would be my first call. also contact the seller in this ebay link he puts up Nos material all the time https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EB-FALCON-XR8-SVO-S-PACK-GENUINE-FORD-NOS-SEAT-MATERIAL-TEAR-DROP-/143870251902?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

DGN with what the call the Tibet Lock will most probably be the same xf and earlier work differently c Dale
