viffer

Haven't been on for a while and hadn't realised the diff clunk was such a problem. I have an auto turbo. I had the well documented whine problem at 95 kmh. Took it to ford and they replaced it no worries. 3 months later and the diff turns up and after reading previous threads asked the ford service guys if it would be properly balanced when being replaced. "yeah sure mate will do" was the reply. Well they didn't balance it and spent the next 7000 km with a the vibration before being properly balanced. You can't tell me this didn't cause unnecessary wear on unis. After the balance all was smooth apart from drive line clunk straight after getting off a light throttle. Took it back and aparently there was a bold which was not seated properly so the thing wasn't even being held together right. Got this fixed and removed the clunk during general driving. In performance mode if I hold a gear off the throttle after light acceleration there is a slight clunk. No wonder you manual guys are feeling the problem more that the autos. In adaptive mode the clunk is almost non-existant. Mine also gives a good old whack when moving from forward to reverse and vise-versa. Knew I shouldn't have bought the series one, however if this has been around since AU then the VE is looking mighty promising. I was going to take a demo for a drive to see if it has the same clunk. If no clunk then I was going to use this as reasoning for a fix, again.

Sorry , no pics. The thing even had a 'Coup' badge on the back.

A XR6 coupe was seen in brisbane. Blue. Anybody know this car? Is it the Ford prototype or a chop job? Hope it was a prototype. It should be ready when my lease expires.

Must be the xmas spirit with so many taking the plunge. I just ordered my T as well, Blueprint, atmo, leather,and every other conceivable option. Time for the VN to rust in peace. Was told that delivery would be on 23/12/03. Here's hoping.

Thanks iaschmidt & vik351, Time to order the beast.

Hi, Am looking forward to joining your ranks though had a query about the rust on the upper fron A arms. Every brand new BA I have looked at has surface rust on them. Is this of major concern? Will it continue to rust through? Is Ford doing anything about it?
