What a car eh? I would never have believed you could break traction going up hill (!!) in a rear wheel drive, by burying your foot to overtake at 50kph...Anyway, back to the topic... I have the 15k service due probably late next month, and my boss (who has a BA2 XR6T) tells me he noticed a huge diffence after the local Ford dealer waived his wand over his car at 15k's.Are these detuned to any extent for the run-in period? And what should I tell the local (overcharging) Ford dealer to do and check on apart from the textbook manual 15k service requirements?Appreciate your advice on this.Cheers!________________________________________BF Bionic ZF auto, Factory 18's, Tints, lux pack.←Actually I heard that the ford service apprentice mechanics, not only steal the money out of your console, a couple of Cd's but they also steal at least 1 or 2 pound of boost off you to take home and put in there datsuns..Bastards..
