Hi all.... Long time lurker, first time poster.. Thought i would say Gday
Current Ride is a 92 EB Falcon sedan with an EL motor i put in it when the orignal motor blew up.. Also had a fairly neat XF ute i sold a while ago to pay for an overseas trip. 21 but still on damn P-plates, have bought a 03 5spd v8 silhouette XLS ute which is a bit of a Sunday car atm due to obvious reasons.. Project car is a xw falcon 500 ute that i have been slowly working on.. Quick question that someone here may or may not be able to help me with, looking to put some 19" G6E wheels or 19" silver argents on my ute and was wondering if 19's wheel fit/ride like ******? And if anyone wants to sell me a set of either i wouldnt be mad

could also trade a set of non-genuine 18" twists.. Hopefully you'll see many more posts from me.. Cheers!

Hi all, Rob from Cape Town South Africa here.

Not sure which forum to post my question to so forgive me if this is not the right one.

I have a '78 F250 which I believe was made in your part of the world.

My problem is that I can't locate the VIN on the chassis which I need to get this baby legal. The US resources say that the VIN is stamped on the top of the chassis just next to the alternator but it isn't there I have brushed down all the chassis members in the engine compartment to bright metal but no VIN.

Since this is a RHD vehicle, would the VIN perhaps be in a different place? The US experts suspect that this is the case.

Can anybody help?

cheers

Rob

hi all,
i'm new to the ford forum and i have got a question for anyone in the forum who has installed a wireless reversing camera in a ba ute.
i installed one, i get a great picture while the motor is not turned on, just ignition on and in reverse gear. when motor is turned on there is no vision just interference on screen. manufacturer is sending me another unit to try.
is there something i am missing? i do not want to hard-wire it in.
thank you for any reply,

yruf

Hi Everyone,

just like to say hi and also thanks to any contributors. I've already saved myself a couple hundred dollars by being able to fix the headlight switch wires on my Ford Territory TX 2006.

Found out from the forum that the wires in the "stalk" of the headlight switch break a lot. Prior to this I'd actually removed the entire switch combination unit behind the steering wheel. Thought the high/low/flash switch had been the culprit and actually did micro surgery on it, feeling all good with myself. Put everything back together and didn't work. Came to the forum and found the answer. Obviously I got the order of things wrong, forum first next time.

I used to be a sparky, and I'm shocked at the crappy wires Ford are using at a point of regular flex. All of the wires in the stalk have gone rock hard at the bend point. They should be using something like soft silicon wires that get used on test meters. I'm chopping out the bad bits and soldering in silicon wires.

Hey guys I own a EA falcon and on the weekend I pulled out the old CPI engine and put a EB XR6 in it. It turns over but won't fire. I think all the hoses and wires are in the correct place but I'm not sure plus ive got a few hoses left over.

Can someone that has done this conversion or another MPI engine in a CPI car please help

Hi All! First post, new member, feeling a bit intimidated by all those big sixers and V8s but I'll get over that. Just returned to the Ford fold, recently bought Ford Fiesta Econetic in Qld, put a set of CSA 15" Spyders on her and drove back to SA. 4.4L/100km, very happy with that. Lime squeeze in colour, have named her Fifi, girlie name, girlie car, girl driver. Have owned Lasers (x3) and a BA before. Have struck a hitch trying to register in SA, can't find the engine number location. Anyone able to help with that, please?
