  1. Well shes in @ ford this morning. I made sure I showed 3 techs where the leak was. The are going to pull all the pipes off, clean them up check the throttle body itself and there focus will be on the turbo. Im thinking a washer,seal,gasket of some sorts. The thing is shes not blowing any smoke. Is weird I will keep you updated....
  2. Well I have noticed a drop or two of oil on my garage floor. So I got in to the engine bay and had a good look around the timing cover, sump, head gasket and turbo. Nothing. I removed the air intake snorkle as I noticed the oil coming from the passenger side. And found the culprit! The joint that connects the throttle body boost pipe to the intercooler pipe is leaking some oil The amount of oil tells me that something is not normal. Anyone seen something like this before? Surely it should not be happening.
  3. Beauty!! Mate il keep an eye out. Cant miss her!

    There is an "I" omitted from my previous post. My bad "Shows how much I know about the ZF" Im saying that the diffrence would be told on the 1/4 possibly So a ZF with more points might possibly get down the 1/4 for eg 0.1 quicker than one with less points And obviously a run in engine will perform better as you just said.
  5. il keep my eyes out for a few

    Shows how much know about the ZF. Suppose the diffrence would tell on the track
  7. glad its all sorted mate! I have heard some good things about Peter Warren although some of their other branded dealers are a bit iffy
  8. have you looked towards the UK for mods? Dreamscience is a good tuning software for the XR5 As well as bluefin Just do a google search on these
  9. What you driving? il keep an eye out for you @ smylie il keep an eye out for your silver beast

    Obviously the guys that flog there cars build up points & so have that bit more power Where as the guys that baby their cars dont have as amny points http://www.worldcarfans.com/2061006.009/pa...-mkii-in-detail Driver Recognition A host of advanced features are accessible to the driver as part of the Driver Recognition software with the six-speed automatic transmission. Driver Recognition matches transmission performance to the current driving style by considering acceleration and deceleration rates, brake and throttle applications, and cornering speed, to ensure the vehicle is in the right gear at the right time without undesired gear shifts. The transmission ‘learns’ the driver's style and assigns a theoretical point system to certain driving scenarios to determine the activation point of particular features. The point system extends from a “base” fuel economy bias (0 points), through stages such as “sporty” driver (100 points), up to “enthusiast” (200 points). The transmission software recognises various performance-based actions, such as rapid acceleration / pullaways, enthusiastic cornering, pushing the accelerator pedal through the detent and moving the shift lever into performance mode, and increases the number of points accordingly. By moving the shift lever across from adaptive to performance mode, the driver recognition function increases by 100 points instantly, making the advanced features more accessible. If the transmission had already learnt to 40 points in adaptive mode, then when the shift lever is pushed across into the performance mode it would become 140 points. In performance mode, driver recognition can learn from “sporty”, representing 100 points, up to “enthusiast” (200 points). Points can be gathered quickly as increases occur in blocks, while a more graduated, single point decrease in the score occurs when you return to a less sporty driving style.
  11. The heat out in the west could be a factor?
  12. Depends if you looking for a cruiser or not. I guess the decision is like deciding between a Harley Davidson or a Yamaha R1. If you want the sound and image then go for the GT and if you want performance with easy modification then go the F6. Personally I'd go the F6 due to it's ease of modification and outright grunt. I think I'd be disappointed if I spent that much on a GT and only managed around 250rwkw.
  13. Just had a look to check mine. No signs of oil leak. travelled 2500km
  14. Im in the Hills. Castle Hill to be exact
  15. I was 24 when I put my deposit down 2 weeks later turned 25 and took delivery. FG F6
