Hi, this is not xr6t related however I have a yanmar tractor and the electric water temp gauge is busted. It has a range from 50-140c. I went to autobarn to find the cheapest thing I could which turned out to be a very basic VDO gauge, its range is 50-120c. Now Im no auto electrician but both having a minimum of 50 will that make them compatible with out removing the sender?? Also does anyone know of any other dirt cheap electric water temp gauges. Thanks in advance.

The cd player in my ute has stopped working, as my dad owns a wreckers I have just fitted another ICC but now the screen just says CODE and the ute wont start. I have a rang three local ford dealers and have got three different answers, what is the answer to get the new ICC to work and the ute to start. P.S. only standard ICC not premium if it matters

Hi its been a few months since ive been on here because I sold my T and bought a BA XLS ute. Now in my ute you can select the cd function, put the disc in, then wait for it to load then it spits the disc back out. Im not using burnt cd's or anything like that it just wont take any cd's. Does anyone have any ideas?????

F6 all the way, a VE SS isn't even in the same league.

I just a bought a grade 12.9 (I think standard was 8.8 or 10.9) unbrako cap screw from blackwoods it hasnt broke yet I have had it in nearly 6 months now. Im pretty sure it is an M16 x 120mm. I have pics from when I did mine. Although mine has held up, I dont know if a higher tensile bolt is actually the answer, a higher tensile bit is actually more brittle which is more prone to shearing as my original did. By the way I only paid $4 for the bolt as it is only a bolt, dont get ripped off by someone telling you its specially designed for an xr6 turbo diff.

So can an octane booster or even better fuel compensate for the heat?? With the more octane can it run at a higher inlet temp with more humidity and not retard???

I was wondering if anyone notices big power differences on a week to week basis. I drive my T every day to work and back it has been tuned to just under 290rwkw and some days it feels every bit of that and more , just sideways everwhere , but then other days it feels very lazy and less responsive. I have a process west stge 2 cooler but could it just be the heat in qld, or good and bad batches fuel (always bp ultimate from the same servo)

I bought a cheap nasty looking set of ebay for $120 dollars and they have been going fine so far. Does your car actually starting missing and farting when one goes or do you just notice less response and power????

Do we have a doctor on the forum????

Im sitting at home coughing, sneezing and sweating as well, I have also been trying to avoid it for over a week. I buy all the vitamins I can from the chemist and the cold n' flu tablets with the psuedoephedrine in them, they are the only ones to get.

I went from 3.45 to 3.73 with my 5 spd manual and I havent noticed any difference in the fuel economy. It is a lot beter to drive with the lower ratio so much more acceleration. I cant be certain but I would think 4.11 might be too low to have as a daily driver, I could be wrong though. Mine is a turbo though I didnt realise we were talking about N/A

I had an exedy organic hd fitted about two months ago and I was told not to although I had already ordered it. But so far it has been really good at 287rwkw but I guess only time will tell. If I had my time again I would probably get an extreme clutch, they make a xhd with a 1250kg clamp load and its still organic.

thanks much for the invite into your sunny coast crew, I come down there now and then on weekends to dust some commodores, but I havent been for a while. I wont be able to go on the cruise and karts day either sorry

I just need to know what fits though and if a na xr6 or xt is the same, thanks anyway,

As the topic suggests my radiator has started leaking very minutely. Is a standard xt radiator the same as a T or what about an xr8 one? My dad owns a wreckers so I can onto any of them non-genuine however none of the suppliers know which one suits a turbo.

Definitely has to be in the middle and it looks good, what sort of cooler is it???

Is your clutch their xhd organic with the 1250kg clamp load?? How is the pedal feel?? I just had an exedy hd fitted (which everyone ridiculed) but it so far has been really good but only time will tell I guess, but it is very heavy on my leg althugh it is very smooth, predictable and driveable.

LOL I thought that may have been the case too but when I drove it the next morning the pedal was still good.

Thanks everyone for their help, my clutch is now all good. I let it self bleed on friday by opening the bleed screw and just letting it run while topping up the reservior. I then took it for a drive and it was no difference, I then drove to the pub, had quite a few then when I went to head home the pedal was sweet and all is good.

I have tried everything and rang numerous people and nothing works. Ben at mal wood told me that the exedy hd will be 3 to 4 times heavier on the pedal, which then makes the flexible line that runs from the master cylinder to hard pipe on top of the bell housing swell each time the clutch is pumped. I have checked this and it does swell considerably. So is the answer to go to an extremely tough teflon inner s/s braided hose??? Has anyone else come acoss this problem????? This also means the gear box must come out again as the fexible line is crimped on to th hard pipe, what a pain in the arse.

I have been down pumping the pedal for the last 15 minutes and the resevoir hasnt moved so the line is obviously full, what now????

Got my clutch fitted today and the mechanic couldnt figure out how to bleed it properly, he reckons he used over 3 litres of fluid and the pedal is still terrible I could only just limp it home. Does anyone have any suggestions???? I have been told by ford there is a procedure to bleeding them. BTW there is no leaks and the resevoir is full.

My cars in getting an exedy hd fitted now, just the normal heavy duty with the organic plate as I didnt want a cushioned button either, ill let ya know how it is tomoro.

This is an awesome vid, you can hear the work done to the Late model camira and the big show off burnout. Its even better when you bat them on the street in a standard looking car. Top work paul!!!
