Hi all, I am planning to get the transmission serviced shortly 4 speed auto and was wondering if there is a type of trans fluid that should be used. Thanks in advance Deano

Hi all, I have recently noticed intermittent noise coming from the front of the engine, first I thought it may have been the timing chain but after closer inspection I think it is the plastic pullie at the front top of the engine. It is not constant and seems worse when it is hot or wet, has anyone else had this problem and if so did you take it back to ford, I still have a couple of months warranty. Thanks in advance Deano

Hi all, just after a bit of advice as too when the 4 speed auto in a BA should be serviced and if there are any special requirements ie type of fluid to use. My car has only done 18,000km and I am not sure when I should have the auto done. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Deano

I had this problem from time to time, eventually the car went into limp mode and rang Ford who had it flat bedded to dealer who initially thought throttle position sensor but ended up replacing the entire throttle body, no probs since. Deano

A friend who is in the trade recommended I speak to this mob and get their opinion, I have copied and pasted their email: We have a Ferodo Racing pad, DS Performance, which fits your requirements. It is a high performance road pad that is supplied into top end original equipment programs, which offers good cold performance, excellent stopping power, and low dust and noise. We have it in stock to suit your car, the price is $196 per set (4 pads) inc GST. Regards, Nicholas Bates Competition Friction Ph: 02 6226 8877 Fax: 02 6226 8833

Mine did the same thing, had to get it flat bedded to ford and at first they thought it was the throttle position sensor but turned out that the throttle body itself was fcuked. Deano

Guys, According to the Herald Sun all has been forgiven and they have been re-instated. Surprise, surprise. Deano

Hi all, I wast just reading the thread on DBA rotors and I am interested but I have 2 questions, how difficult to change just the front rotors and will I need to put new pads in for the new rotors and what type of pads suit these. Thanks in advance Deano

Yeah thanks guys, it turned out that the throttle body and the throttle position senser had to be replaced. All ok after warranty fix. Deano

Hey Phevor, There was a thread on turning the seatbelt warning off some time ago, I did it about 10 months ago and no more warning bells. Sorry I can't recall on how to do it though, it was something like turn on ignition buckle seat belt turn ignition off and so on. Deano
