I wonder what the dark side will do to try and catch the Territory run away train?

You would not expect it but it's documented that manual drivers get a lot of right hand injuries. Apparently the weight of the Winnie Reds in their shirt sleeve weighs the right arm down so far that it drags on the road

ahahahhahaha Funniest comment ive seen. Usually this is one way of trying to justify the lazy man option (auto) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not funny at the end of a long day when you are stuck in traffic in a manual and have the schits with it

I reckon if you are asking then you are probably not a die hard manual driver. Remember you can drive the autos in "manual" mode but can't do the oppposite

Auctions are a bit different though. Maybe offering $24k is why you're still looking

Glass' Guide thru Carpoint says $24k-$29k for a private sale 2003 and $23k-$27k trade, which allows for condition, k's etc. I would advertise privately for $28,900 and go from there As we all know changeover is the real guide to trade in success so trade in value depends on what sort of deal you're getting on the new one.

Enjoy the car. Real useable low down torque too The autos used to wheelspin easily off the mark with no stalling. Should have LSD as I had a 93 with LSD.

You could probably sell it again privately when the warranty runs out and get your money back

F6 Tornado advertised by a dealer in Saturdays Brisbane paper for $35,990! Would there be a better bang for your $ unmodded car?

Space, I previously used Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner with a foam hand applicator pad. It claims to "remove surface contamination, mild oxidation and light swirls" and seemed to do the job on a medium blue car. Don't know about black. A detailer told me recently too that light swirls can be under the clear coat from when it is polished between coats Good luck.

as in green slimy stuff?

Was the red stuff before or after the service? If it was after it looks like the grease you put between the brake pads and the plates to stop squeeling. Were you getting a squeel or a tapping sound? I think my problem has gone and could have been a stone between the rotor and the backing plates(I hope it was). Thanks for the help. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The red stuff was applied during the service by the dealership. They said they checked handbrake and other things and took a while to locate the brake noise and this did it. I was surprised that this fixed it as the noise was exactly as you descirbed - a tap...tap...tap when braking lightly at slow speed, like when travelling slow in traffic in an auto. It happened as the brakes were constantly being lightly applied, not only when they were first applied.

This is the red stuff.

ugy, I had the same thing from both rear brakes. Had it fixed at service time but had to take the mechanic for a drive for him to hear it. Don't know what they did but I can see traces of a reddish liquid around the area of the pads if that helps.

That's gotta hurt. I know it's been said before, but you just don't get your money back on options. $32500 is actually 2000 above the Glass's Guide top of the trade-in price range which is based on a new price of $46125. Normal 3 year old values are around 60% which means you're on the way to $27600 worth of car in 2007 A Turbo Fairmont with standard options like those might be a different story...

Yes but add a hill and a couple of passengers to the equation

Thanks for the replies. Those that think they can play CDRWs might actually only have CDRs??? Likewise. But the MkII single CD played the same CDRWs that my MkI 6 stack spat out. I wonder if with the MkII Ford made the stereos CDRW compatible?

This old thread didn't answer the original question. Can anyone with BA Mk I Premium Sound play CDRWs? I had a Mk II XT hire car for a week with the standard single CD and it played CDRWs but my Mk I Premium Sound won't

A decent suspension place would probably have a look for you. Any Sydneysiders might be able to recommend somewhere?

I have the same problem but haven't got around to trying to fix yet (other than ask at every service). Previous thread: http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...=14210&hl=shims

Now I understand. If you PAL the switch chipped CAI output RCA software to the auto update PCU codes removing the NTSC settings and DVD the plug to the ICC and BIOS the Xbox into mode 6-speed video output loading you have something you can't use while driving (hard driving of course) the car

Not according to Glass' Guide thru Carpoint where 03/04 utes are worth $3000-$6000 less for a private sale than the equivalent sedan

Slight off-topic but I have read of top mounted WRX intercoolers being loaded with ice for short term cooling.
