Hornblower Member 50 Member For: 22y 4m 17d Location: Spit Junction NSW Posted 01/01/19 02:33 AM Share Posted 01/01/19 02:33 AM Jeez I haven't been round much since joining in January 2003 when I bought my BA XR6T, but I still have my original baby and she's done under 150,000K. Copped some damage from a roo hit near Braidwood a few months back, but good as new now on the road again after some tender panel work....

Car doesn’t use a drop of oil and according to the local ford dealer it drives “better than a new one”. I bought it to keep forever so she gets treated like a rock star and always has with regular trans flushing and oil changes, engine oil changed every 10-12k, the diff serviced when the trans is, and if I can figure out how to upload a pic I will! Expand Its now up to 398,300kms or so! I need to upload a pic somehow!

Expand Been a while since I popped in but im just about to hit 399k. Anyone passed me yet?? Car developed a miss recently which I think after swapping the plugs and not seeing any evidence of tracking on the coil boots anywhere is a coil breaking down internally? Can hear it over the stereo ticking every time it misses so deffo arcing somewhere. Ford nz wanted $250 EACH for the genuine coils! I bought a set off ebay still sealed inside individual bags with ford OEM part numbers on, and all 6 are sealed in another bag with oem part number on (which I assume is for the set). Soon as I put it in D and hold it on the brake it starts missing erratically, and its a lot worse when the engine is hot hence im almost certain one coil is breaking down internally. Its fine on the open road and if I boot it, just seems to be at low revs. Hopefully having brand new genuine plugs and coils will give it a bit of a wake up too . Interesting unrelated note-since ive not been driving it daily it has developed a slight oil leak at the front of the engine. Not enough to show on the dipstick as its probably a teaspoon or 2 max. Also since last post I had trans oil leaking into the propshaft and needed a new propshaft carrier bearing too, plus I imported a replacement OEM ICC as my one had issues with the screen randomly flickering on and off. I put up with that for 10 yrs till I had enough of it and got a replacement unit from ASL. Need to look at getting my original one repaired too but going by freight costs I may send the screen unit over to be tested, followed by the cd stacker. Would be nice to keep it all OG. Anyway, whats everyones Km now??
