Care feels better now the work has been done. However, im still getting a clunking form the gerabox when coming off the clutch in 1st to 3rd - any ideas out there what that is?

Just dropped into Ford and had a quick chat with them about the new Diff Bushes. I gave them the new part number and they had a look at their work sheet which already had it listed! So looks like at least some dealers are now using on the new (revised) bushes. They new the problem and even offered a quick 'yeah, the old ones wernt strong enough and cracked too easily'. Needless to say, im impressed with their service and honesty. Cant wait to get the car back!

My 2009 XR6T packed it in 2 days ago. Only the drivers side of the car was blowing air at the set temperature - hot or cold. The passenger side just blew what ever the ambient temp air was... Ford fixed it under warranty and all is well - hopefully for a while!

My FG XR6T (manual, 23,000 on the clock) is at Ford as I write (for some warranty work). I told them about the noise and they were all over it - rear diff bushes I was told, and they are going to do it under warranty. Low and behold, im serching around on here and stumble across this thread... Im going to drop in before work tomorrow and quote them the part number for the new bushes (special thanks to those who dug it up!). If im having my back end pulled off, I want to make sure these new magical bushes keep it running smooth and quiet for more than 23,000km!!
