Just heard from Ford and the news is that the tailshaft broke.. This is the 2nd time that it has happened as the first owner basically drove out from the dealership when he first picked it up and the tailshaft went. Hopefully this time I get the updated tailshaft so that there wont be a problem again.. Just out of curiosity how do these things break so easy on the fg's?

Dropped it off to ford today. Hopefully its a quick fix!!

Nah its really loud. Its like a really loud tumbling noise, but the car drives fine in every gear

Just went under the car mate, every single bolt is tight as can be.. Should I be calling ford like now??

OK mate will have a look soon.. What do I do if they indeed are loose?

Yes mate, its still there.. It sound like theres a massive rock jumping around in my gearbox

In gear, any rpm, gets louder the faster I go, even does it in reverse. When I completely stop it goes away

Hey guys, Tonight I got my first ever problem from my fg xr6 turbo ute, was just driving along and then out of nowhere I hear this really loud tumbling noise coming from the gearbox. It drives fine in every single gear but this noise just gets louder the faster I go and it goes away when I come to a complete stop.. Any ideas? The car has only got 24,000kms and is under warranty..

Hey fellas, I have been toying with the idea of getting 20 inch Dark Argent wheels painted shadow chrome for my ute.. Opinions on whether it would look good or not? I cant really imagine it haha.. Cheers Dark Argents Shadow Chrome wheels

Yeh thanks fellas... My nephew has a manual BF with similar mods and reckons ill have massive traction issues if I go to run it lol Clutch will stay stock for now as I doubt the car will make over 305rwkw. If it goes it goes.

Hey guys, Have decided I need more power.. My FG ute had plenty of power when I picked it up in June but is now a bit "meh"... Got these mods lined up in the next month or so: > Custom Tune > Nizpro Injectors > 5" Cat > Thermostat > Process West Driver side air box >Battery Relocation >Herrod Piping I'm thinking 300rwkw should be achievable with these mods? Thoughts? Also, down the 1/4 without slicks.. In a manual what do you guys think would be a gettable time? Cheers

I have a FG XR6 Turbo ute, its not me lol, its a person I know I didnt say hes a mate

Tell me about it. He is the most clueless person I have ever met, what could happen to him? I mean can he even register it? and what happens if he gets busted? He said hes going to take off the turbo badge

I know someone who is on green p's and is ripping out a $40,000 loan to purchase a 2nd hand FG XR6 Turbo. Just wondering, will vic roads let him register it in his name or not? and what happens if he is caught driving it? Cheers fellas

that's very cheap mate am very jealous.
