Hi guys, I've just had new tyres fitted to my FG II G6ET. The alignment guy at the Bob Jane said he couldn't do a proper alignment because they didn't have the facility to do the shims. Can anybody recommend a shop in the Hills district of Sydney that can do a proper alignment? Cheers.

My Mk II is doing a similar thing but only when it's cold. While it was under warranty, the dealer tried to work with me once I was able to demonstrate the problem. The last thing they did, after all the standard stuff, was to swap the tailshaft out of a Falcon off the lot. The problem seemed fixed, though the fault did not transfer to the other Falcon. All went well for a month or so then the vibration slowly resurfaced. My car was out of warranty by now, so the dealer lost interest as they weren't going to get any more money from Ford. My local independent Ford expert had a go as well with no joy. He said the next step was to pull the transmission; a big job for a maybe. I've learned to live with it since it goes away after about 10 minutes of driving. As far as the OP goes, I'd try getting the car to vibrate and then put it into neutral and coast. If the vibration goes away, that will eliminate the wheels and tyres.

Thanks

I have a small problem with my FG MkII G6ET. When the temperature in the car starts to reach the climate control setting, I'm getting a dull clicking sound from under the dashboard. I'm guessing it's a blend door or something like that. Pulling the dashboard out myself is not something I want to attempt and I have little faith in any of the Ford dealerships I've come across. So, can anyone recommend a shop or dealership in the Sydney (or surrounding area) region? The car is out of warranty so it doesn't need to go to Ford. Thanks.
