Got the oil and filter changed, even though FPV reckon it's not necessary.I'm a big believer in mid-service oil changes so will keep this up as long as I own it.

galconn Member 101 Member For: 19y 2m 22d Posted 13/02/06 10:57 AM Share Posted 13/02/06 10:57 AM Agree with the change over to Magnatec. I'm getting the gearbox (coffee grinding machine ) noise in first and at low revs in 2nd and 3rd. Having it checked by my dealer. The most probable outcome will be that the noise will be considered a characteristic of the car (just like the surging in cruise ) and will not be touched by Ford. 2005 XR6T 6Speed Manual.

J21 Member 7 Member For: 18y 11m 2d Posted 13/02/06 09:04 PM Author Share Posted 13/02/06 09:04 PM Thanks for the replies guys - much appreciated.Should have mentioned 6spd Auto Silver Streak, Sports leather and premium sound, noises mainly from undercarriage - hard to pin down but none the less of some concern - will naturally as suggested ask the dealer to check closely - Was mainly wondering if there were any common problems anyone has experienced. Would also like Goldies contact info if avail'?CheersJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
