stu-e Member 5 Member For: 16y 7d Posted 14/09/08 07:49 AM Share Posted 14/09/08 07:49 AM I had an EGR fitted from new on my FG xr6t with sports bars and spoiler. I had to take it back to them 4 times in two weeks to have it adjusted. At one stage I could not even get in the back at all and ford told me to book it in? It also was sitting up on the left back but it seems to be alright now. Took two people in the tub and one bloke outside the tub to get it right.

So long as it is alright now I guess, just frustrating having to take it back so many times mate.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu-e Member 5 Member For: 16y 7d Posted 24/09/08 09:38 AM Share Posted 24/09/08 09:38 AM Got home tonight to find my EGR ute lid with sports bars and spoiler is again sitting up at the left back! This will be the fith time I have taken it back to get adjusted. It has shifted all by itself you can tell straight away because the gaps change. Now it is not catching on the left side and rattles when you go over bumps!! Its like a dick in a shirt sleeve!I only use this ute for fun I would hate to actualy use it for work, I reckon I would spend my whole life back at Jeff Wignal Ford!I ordered everything on this car Luxury pack, sat nav. tint, ipod, bluetooth,nitro metalic paint even XR scuff plates and it should be a pleasure to own but all I realy bought was a $48,000 fantastic engine and they through in a crappy ute with it.Is anyone having trouble with there lid and diff? Is everybody happy with there ute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is yours mounted with a full hinge or a half hinge as illustrated in this thread?And what diff dramas have you got? Mine's just about f'ed after 50 thousand...sounds like an a old truck at 95km/h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody else have this kind of problem because its pretty important no water gets into the tray at all Edited 17/02/09 02:49 AM by Power Vision Sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diff is noisy at 100-110.Cheers stu-eI bought a new FG ute with a hard cover from Winford Ford, the lock has failed twice and the bolts to the gas struts snapped, I spoke to EGR in QLD and they sent me new bolts and told me that when the covers are fitted by Ford they dont tap the thread properly and the bolts snap. Also becareful about buying these covers because Ford WILL NOT honour the warranty. You must take the cover back to the selling dealer for warranty work any other Ford dealer will not fix them. I bought my ute from a dealer two hours away and I have to travel back and forth to have it fixed each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully automatic and takes up bugger all room in the tray.No leaks either despite heavy rain.Outback 4wd World in Bayswater fit them if anyone is interested.
