HEY GUYS......I agree with everything said here there is a way you can release your fustration without words or physically abuse. My girlfriend is a cop......and when were driving around if she spots any traffic infringements e.g tailgating, not indicating, running lights, speeding, burnouts, travelling road blocks etc... she gets the number plates, time/place of incident and description of driver and reports it to the nearest cop shop. The cops do investigate every report 50% of cases are followed up and fines are given.....and the best thing is anyone can do that..not just off duty cops.

UPDATE........... My brakes are getting a little better as the car is run in some more, but I found that they still work ok when you apply more pressure than usual. So I guess there like some sort of progressive brake thingy. Im not really worried anymore because I tested them last night and there ok, I just have to apply a little more pressure to what Im used, but when I get my next falcon definately premium brakes. GO AMBROSE......poor Expensive Daewoo fans

HELP anyone, I just picked up my turbo 2 days ago and I think I have some problems already. 1 - after about 100km the steering wheel started tilting to the right so it seems that it needs a wheel alignment already. Is this covered by warranty as the car has only done 100km? 2 - when I braked for the first time......I couldnt beleive it, THE BRAKES WERE CRAP. Im not really used to good brakes on other cars but these brakes are worse than my dads escourt panel van. If a child ran out in front of the car no way could I stop in time. I did some playing around and found that when comming to say a stop sign if I press the brakes with firm pressure I only slow down slighty....if I quickly take the pressure off the brakes only for a microsecond when I reapply the same pressure straight away it brakes really hard. Does anyone have any ideas whats going on. being a Sunday I cant ring ford, I will do that tomorrow. 3 - Not sure if this is a issue......but when I rev it to about 4000 revs and then change gears (manual) I can here the turbo making a clicking/knocking noise. This noise can only be heard when I change gears and the engine is over 4000 revs. I have been told this is normal because there is no blow off valve. Is this true? Thanks for any info, Im not really mechanically minded so any help would be great. GO FORD (as I shake my mullet hair cut) :hiwelcome:

hey ZAPXR6T....................I was in exactly the same situation. The dealer would not lower the price, the dealer even showed me in the contract where it states that Ford have the arthority to change the price at anytime at cost to the customer (being us), even though I signed a specific price the Terms & Conditions are written in a way to get around any leagal loop hole. I was so pissed off with my dealer and rang another dealer to confirm weather this was true......the sales rep said it is true......however he said if I cancel that order then he will give me the same deal WITHOUT the price increse.............I was extatic. I rang my dealer and cancelled the order, they tried to save me by offering a discount but it was no where near as good as the other dealer. Anyway so now im waiting another 6 weeks.............BUT ITS WORTH IT BASICALLY......contact another dealer.....you will get a better deal!!! GOOD LUCK

cheers for that dagabond

hey guys.. Would like to know if anybody here has actually got metallic tint on the back window (on any window), and does it REALLY affect FM radio. I know this topic has been discussed before but it seems that there are mixed responses, so I would like to here from anybody that actually has metallic tint.

I definately want 18' wheels, just not sure if its worth paying an extra $1500 for the ford 18's (they look good) or get standard wheels and then buy aftermarket 18's. Just wondering what peoples thoughts are, and im not really sure how much aftermarket 18's plus tyres cost, and would they take my standard XR 17's as like some sort of trade in? cheers

hey everyone, I want to get my future T lowered, just not sure how low it should go (sounds like a song!), can anyone provide pics with details of the type of springs used and how low it is from standard. thanks in advance

Hey everyone, Im Adam from Adelaide and Im about to buy a T but I really want colour black but everyone I speak to says that's its a nice colour but it shows all the scratches and is very hard to keep clean. Just wondering if any black XR owners have the same problem. p.s - this forum rocks, I have been reading all the posts for a while as a guest cheers
