    ute register

    No one buying the new model I see? Sedan looks ok. Ute does not and now all the good colours have been deleted. Wish I was enticed to upgrade :(
  2. As per display picture on this forum.. Correct me if I am wrong. But there was never one made? Just like never one in Breeze either before the colours were discontinued I got told that Octane was making a re-appearance with 2014 update..Which I will gladly buy..But they are not making F6's anymore.Correct?
  3. FG Mk II downgrade..Now they have rolled out into dealers..The front looks like a horse smiling...To think people use to complain about the Mk 1 grill set up.Now you can see them side by side.It makes the outgoing model look so good..The non recessed touchscreen I intensely dislike also. And every new wheel set Ford has brought out recently looks so cheap..How could they get it so wrong? Don't they do consumer feedback over a large group before deciding on going ahead with full production? Not forgetting to mention they have deleted all the bright colours in the range..I do like how it other manufacturers are jumping on the Orange car band wagon now..
  4. If we had a competive market and cars were priced at normal levels..As per Uk and America. Re: this article.My link Do you think XR6T's and F6's would still be the same price and competitive in this kind of market? I think they would be.
  5. These were all your own photo's? What car was that custom dash in?Looked very well done. Always wanted an Orange XY GT...1990's why did you have to go...When you could pick up a nice GT for $15k
  6. Looking through FPV build your own catalogue and see they have killed the bright green colour off? Thought that colour popular..What with killing Octane..Then bringing out that awful Sunburst..They have seriously regressed...Like Breeze got killed off too...Though was never offered in FPV range...Looks like if I want to upgrade..I have to buy 2nd hand...Hope they release one or two new colours this year...Mystic seems to be a failure too.
  7. I want one of these satisfaction surveys then Trent!..Took it back yesterday.As when it rained last Wednesday.Water poured through the speaker like hole in front of the interior lights.I took it straight there to show them. Took out headlining and fixed the radio finally at the same time..Putting new aerial wiring in..18 months later it finally works!..Apart from the $90 I-pod plug fee...They done everything right by me this time.Still not going to let them service it though.

    Xr6T Fg Ute

    42k with a Lux pack? More like near 47k....Mine was 44,500 without that....Wish I got the colour ICC screen...But did not want the 19" wheels..or who wants dual zone aircon in a ute.
  9. Metro Ford. I should have gone to Bryan Byrt like I was told..If I ever upgrade I will.
  10. Farrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk!....A tad shafted it seems.
  11. News update from my last post: Left car at Dealer for 4 days...They could not find the leak through the aerial..But I got a new gearknob and boot surround.. I left it there for 4 days so they could pull the dash out and fix the radio..They told me it now works...Still no A.M stations and 4zzzfm still crackles...Fail.. On the plus side: I complained again about the 2 front discs with ridges in them since last July and the poor maching atempt they tried to palm off on me..Told I would have to pay for the discs..Then find 2 new ones put on discreetly for me today :D Gas strut fixed on hardlid..That was very painful every time u opened it,had to prop it up. I-pod adapter fell to bits over last 2 weeks..Not covered by warranty..Had to pay $90 for new part&fitted for free..I will be more careful with it from now on....Apart from the radio..I was impressed with service..But I would not let them service it again...Now off for 30,000km service and it's looking almost like new. That Beechmont cruise looks like a great loop
  12. Why is fuel cheaper in every other state apart from Tasmania? Is there some reason Queensland residents have to grab there ankles for much longer? Doing this search regularly for last 3 weeks and we are always dearest? What gives?
  13. Stink: It's 2009 model...Booked it in for 2 days next week with dealer to get all these issues solved. Found a tyre in Crows Nest..Will have it next week! Asked tirerack..Why it going to cost me so much postage just for one tyre.Told it costs alot for the 1st item and then progressively cheaper for each item after that. It's good to get out of Corrolla hire car...Can't go around corners in 4th gear..And no way can you pull out on anyone..Such pain! And it does the 1750 revs in 6th gear at 60km/h as does mine at 110km/hr in 6th.. Went to that place at Albion that gets rid of gutter rash on wheels..and they have gone :( Tyrepower says..The place down the coast bought them out..Such pain to get them done down there now. Forums come to life! I want to go do that Kyogle cruise again.Those twisty's brought a huge smile to everyone's face.
  14. Nobody seems to post here anymore :(....No sign of another cruise being organised either? FG ute owners: It all started with that heavy rain last October.Water got through the aerial I presume..It actually formed a small pool in my gearshift boot..Made all the leather come unstuck around the manual stick...A.M radio already stopped working over a year ago..Now FM only works sometimes...And every descent rain event..More rain pours through...Anyone else had this? Altercation with a traffic island 3 weeks ago..Put a hole in one of my new tyres.Fubar..In the sidewall...Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics...None were available here over the new year..Ordered mine from tirerack in U.S...Now it turns out these tyres are still not available here. As there is a new version made..But still not been distributed..Tirerack want to charge me the same postage I paid for 4..Just for one tyre! $210+ $213 for the tyre. Anyone know of any of these tyres around..Please let me know..They really are amazing and don't slip even in the rain. Getting a new wheel too..Just because it hit the lip..Told to throw it away..
