The brake fluid was just for personal interest; knowing what the factory was throwing in would be nice. The brake pads: I believe that the XR6 factory front pads were some of the best pads I've ever had (I useto drive all types of cars) They produced no brake dust, they didn't squeal, they lasted 110,000 km before requiring a change, and they cost about $90. I never felt they were underperforming at any task. I would love to know more information about them. Who the supplier for FORD Australia was? etc.

I was just wondering what brake fluid was used at the Geelong factory Also, Would anyone know what the product code is for the standard (Non-Brembo) xr6 genuine front brake pads? Thanks in Advance.

I'm bumping an Old post here. I need to know what the Geelong factory used as their genuine brake fluid. Was it Castrol Dot 4? Thank you in advance

Yeah, agreed Agree 100% with that, that's exactly why I placed it on the forums first. People on here will respect a clean example of an Aussie icon People on here know and understand it's hard to find a clean XR (getting harder and harder), they start developing rust in 6 years, they have stuffed steering racks/suspension, their seats wear out from use really easily (compared to European cars), spoilers develop leaks from boot struts giving out and snapping the spoilers connections which in turn rusts out their boot lids...etc XR enthusiasts love finding clean examples for their family members I'm just feeding their dreams 😄 they don't have to buy this one for the $4,000 above "value" asking price, but they'll be happy it exists and can see the value Buying one with 120,000 km right now (which is considered low ks for an FG very rare to find one with 80,000) you need to replace brakes $400 oil leaks $800 gearbox service 400-800 all adds up before you know it you’ve thrown $2,000 into a $14,000 car So is it really a $14,000 car 😄 it’s all done on this car It’s an offer price, right... I know what kind offers I can get on this car 😄

Redbook dosn’t take into account rarity, low ks, maintance I useto work for as an inspector for a supercar importer, they would place values of $100,000 on a cars that are collectors items worth $400,000 Redbook was my daily point of reference They value a GTR 32 1994 vspec at $35,000 . . . In what world is a vspec 32 worth $35,000 ? It would be an amazing world, if redbook had accurate pricing points I actually just sold a G6E 2009 for a friend, it sold for $10,000 that thing was worth $10,000 😄 The pricing on this ones is not off, it’s the value of such a rare FG The car is in showroom condtion you can eat off the underbody The used price point for this car would be just under a FGX of the same spec a FGX xr6 ecolpi used is worth about $22,000 realistically Pricing a showroom FG at $19,000 ono is fair ecolpi 2012 on redbook with 120,000km is $12,500... price is fine (LPG XR’s are worth more then petrol)

Hey guys, Family has a Xr6 ecolpi that they are thinking of selling, I think this is the cleanest xr out there 😄 85,000 km Kenetic blue Cloth seats Beepers, no camera Car looks and feels brand new Mature female owner, all services done at ford, only issue we’ve had with it was a power steering leak (none pressure return hose leak) Coolant and break fluid replaced every 2 years The tyres are 1 year old still look fresh (Michelin ps4’s) 8 months rego Garaged since new The car has been babied around feels so fresh it’s crazy, even the ZF clicks into every position unlike the ones that have been you know.... assaulted Factory LPG: $45 to fill up 450km per tank $19,000 ono Located Dee Why NSW 2099 If your interested send me your email and I’ll forward you images of this beauty 👌

Hey guys, Sorry to bring up an old thread, Facing the same issue, bought leather XR6 seats off a wreckers and my airbag plugs are green on my 2012 FG and the new seats have a black plug... currently I'm running the seats with no seat airbags with a airbag warning light...what's the best way around this?

Yea it runs on LPG, Yea I was gona do that I just wanted to see what u guys think it mite be.

nah I dont mean it backfires Gas as in LPG I mean when I step on the accelerator it just makes a loud Poping noise wich I think is from the airbox not 100% sure but it sounded like it was coming from there.

Im asking for help and this guys getting on back over me stuffing up my spelling up there I told him why and askd for his help ...

whats wrong with that?

What could be wrong with the cat?

To me it sounded like it came from the airbox... has anyone heard of this problem bfor?
