curious

I saw your ute when I was last in Townsville visiting mates, I remeber the tune on it.

Silver Eagles Plonky, are you guys crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well today found out what the problem was, aparently there is a safety valve at the bottom of the engine which had jamed open and that's the reason for nil compression, Very Very odd indeed but will be back on the road tomorrow. The CPU opened it for some reason. Ive never heard of it before.

will keep you posted on that won to satisfy your curiosity. The tech was standing there shaking his head too, he even went and got another compression tester as he though his was faulty due to no readings what so ever when he was testing the pots.

If it doesn't glow red, She's not hitting her head, You're not doing it right, I'll come over tonight And do her instead. :o ... sorry, couldn't help myself ... were not worthy, were not worthy

If it doesnt glow red then stay in bed. Damn that was clever, you recon????

My brother, by the time you ran with it through the court it would cost you more than 2 brand new "T''s. As much as I love my country I sometimes question thier build integrity. Damn you bundy, leave the techs alone. As for being pi$$ed, I am the same, I have one on order and like to think I provide Ford with free advertising as the car looks like a weapon In return they should provide me with a good product that I can show off for them as it is on the road eight hours everyday.

true, with darker Hgag, stripes. Like a two toned cardie, beautiful wool blend

I drove a Maloo ute the other day as a favour, the note on that thing was incredible. I know its the dark side but the sound was beautiful

no no, I didnt think you were, I have my own personal one on order. I'm frustrated for everyone else too as this is the pride and joy that we work hard for.

It was driven hard but that's no excuse, it was maintained perfectly not thrashed, all its limits were respected and never bounced off the rev limiter. Fuel Economy was not flash as it was my work car (has blue and white checkers on the side) Many people were cheering as it was on the truck. SAD SO SAD

how about the stripes morph into a bunch of baloons on the back guard. The bloke who put that together is from a circus

It was mislabelled and they sent a gearbox back to us that was from another car and broken as well. As to how these mistakes were made, who knows. It was driven a total of 2 klometres before the crunch and clunks were heard and it was taken straight back. They made admissions as to the stuff up and that's the explanation that was given.

Kilometres done were 30,000. It is unusual to have zero compression in all the cylinders. Like I said it was like that in the first 4 but left after that so the back two may have some. It was dead cause I remember when the tech was crankng it over, the starter had no resistance and only the occasional "plop plop" through the exhaust. Maybe the turbo let go who knows, another suggestion was the valve jammed closed and overboosted. What ever it is its terminal Time!!!! well it took just under three weeks to get the box back. They sent away the old gear box for exchange but sent another already broken one up and fitted that that by mistake. They better not try that rubbish again.

mid to late 2004, 280kw's six speed box in FPV "T"

reload and get me back out there.......yeeeeehaaaa

:tears: Well the other day the car stalled and wouldnt start. It was put on a tow truck. It just had a new gearbox put in and the mechanics may have damaged the starter when putting it back in. The sound was like it was spooling. I followed it to Ford and the mech looked at it and shook my hand. He said this is the first engine he knows that has let go. I watched him do compression checks. number one - zero, number two - zero, number 3 - zero, number 4 - zero. All plugs fouled with oil. I then walked away shaking my head. Problems to date 1. New gearbox 2. brake shudder 3. new engine 4. new headlghts left and right due to chrome falling out 5. continuos stalling. I really like this vehicle but wouldnt this annoy even the most patient man :banghead: :banghead:

They dont seem to appreciate his jenerosity. Do you think that boat would have a toilet in it or would you have to wait for the next port. I would hate to be the guy who has the job of mixing the two stroke oil with the fuel.

All good things glow pink

now, now boys both hands and 10 and 2. Arms straight and the inside of your wrists should rest on the wheel. This is the proper style. You make the choice whether its the right style for gerkin or driving.

Most embarrasing yesterday Plonk, Performed a lovely u-turn to intercept a vehicle in the work "T" and half way through the u turn it dies. I limp off the road only to dscover it wont start. Sounded like the starter cog was not even engaged. Had to walk up to the other vehicle and then wait for the tow truck. This particular vehicle has been a donkey from day dot.

you know how hard it is to turn at the speed of light

IF they replace the entire box as they did with ours make sure they put a new one back in. Just recently broke the box and it was sent south for replacement, however they sent up another crook box by mstake and put that in. No wonder after 5 minutes of drivng I did a u-turn and tokk it back in. What goes on is scary

probably I was too busy looking for the sockets

I dont think the general populaton gives a rats on who made it just that it was made properly.
