New Turbo User Questions

Hi All...

This is my first time on here - mainly due to me not having a xr6t before!

I have just brought a BA XR6 turbo with 65000 km on it, and just need a couple of questions answered please:

1) I have condensation in one of the head lights. Is this common and can it be fixed?

2) Also have a clicking sound coming from the dash/steering wheel. Has anyone had this prob before and can it be fixed?

3) Ive been told you have to upgrade your brakes. The brakes on it have slots grooved in the discs and the pads look really big - Does this mean it has already been done?

4) And finally do you have to use premium fuel???

Sorry for all the questions , And thanks in advance.

3. It sounds like rotors and perhaps pads have been changed. Post up a pic if you can.

4. No you don't but I don't see why you wouldn't.

2) Should be covered under warranty.

2) Should be covered under warranty.

I only have a three month statutory warranty which means sh*t Ive been told.

Do you know what causes it / can it be fixed???

Cheers.

1) I wouldn't think so, I'm guessing a replacement as they are a relatively sealed unit. That would almost be a roadworthy issue so surely that'd be covered by the warranty

2) What sort of noise? When does it occur?

3) You've already got the premium brakes - should be enough unless you start modding

4) Recommended but not absolutely required if you can't get it.

It shouldnt have passed a roadworthy with condensation in the lens.

The condensation is covered under waranty to a certain extent. I know cause mine is going in to be fixed tomorrow.

When I took it in there they told me that ford deem it acceptable if it dries up within 20mins of idling with the lights on, they were gonna test mine until they saw it and said they'd just book it in.

Thanks for your replys,

Can I take the light apart and re seal it?

Or is that a big job?

Cheers.
