Hi all, I really need some assistance please (FYI I am not a mechanical car person at all). Having some kind of power/electrical/battery/fuse/connection issue with my 08 FG xr6 turbo. Let me run you through what has happened. Sunday morning I go to start the car and click, click, click with ‘Vehicle immobilised’ on the screen. Yes I know this generally means dead battery and to get a new one. So I do and still does the same thing. Try a heap of different things throughout Sunday. (Disconnect battery for different periods, lock and unlock car etc etc) but to no avail (randomly gt different codes (vehicle immobilised, comms error, transmission not in park and it’s a manual). Late Sunday afternoon when trying again accessories come on (as they had previously) but when turning ignition it just dies completely. Then disconnect for a while, try again and dies completely again. Later I try charging the battery in case the new one was a dud, but it makes no difference. Then I tried charging the battery over Sunday night. Monday morning before work try again, get accessories (as previously had) and get the ‘transmission not in park’ message. Try ignition and dies completely again. Then I get home from work and try again and get basically no power at all. No accessories, keys don’t open or lock car, no inside lights when opening the door. Only faint sign of power is the boost gauge vaguely flickering in the on position and the air bag light being on when off. A mate came round and measured the battery and it is putting out the 13 volts so I don’t think it is the battery itself (plus it is new). At some point sufficient power is not getting to the car. If anyone has any idea your feedback would be great? Really frustrating!

So my 2003 ba mk1 turbs spools up and pulls well till about 4-4500 grand than feels as if it hits a wall drops boost n barely runs (like an ecotec after its eco boost) starts jumping around an stalling but if I go nutreul and up revs comes good again n stop carrying on (like cammed LS) to my knowledge id say fuel issue starving for it but its pure stock so nothing is under powered at all.... gonna start fuel filter and hope its a cheap and easy fix (like charlie sheen) an praying to lord jesus that's its not the pump cause "ain't nobody got time for that" just curious if anyone else has had this issue if so what was it and can you remember prices

I own a 2004 ba xr6t with a standard turbo. I have noticed that when my turbo spools under load (generally in 4th or 5th gear) it makes a strange surging noise. The spool does not sound constant like it should. I have no idea what the problem may be. Looking for ideas? Thanks

Hey Guys, Urgently need some comments on what some think may be the problem with my Ute... Accelerating up to 130kmph ... all smooth... when over 130kmph, a real rough feeling like a strong harsh vibration comes on strong feels like its coming from under drivers feet / back of the engine... remains this way up to about 170kmph, and over this speed it goes smooth again. Regardless of half accelerating or full throttle, its impossible to get away from this rough, harsh feeling & sound coming on... sounds like something is badly wrong. Been an issue for a number of months now, I haven't really worried about it as I don't often get up to those speeds I have a generic 14psi tune - when this is loaded into the car, and when the car is totally returned to stock, there is no difference... still the same issue. The only possibility I wondered about is the fact I have removed the restrictor ring and haven't had any tuning to allow for this change.... but im not sure that such a small change could have this impact. Glad of any / all comments on how people think I could fix this / what it is! Cheers

Hey guys, I know this topic has come up in the past. Unfortunately my circumstances are a little different. I beileve the HIM module has gone which is blowing cold air out on to my passenger (thankfully not my side) and just in time for Winter. What's worse is that my car (Ford FG F6 '08) is no longer under warranty. I'm looking for a repairer that isn't a ford dealership, for obvious reasons. That's in the Perth, WA region that can fix it up for me and roughly what would be a decent price to pay for the work?
