So until then im driving the rental BF fairlane ghia that ford CRC arranged for us.Im bloody hanging to get the car back as I picked up the king lowered springs and XR8 lower airbox/inlet for my car today.

If it's in a workshop get 'em to take it outside in the light, go over EVERY panel carefully and inside the engine bay and cabin.Like you said if it isn't 100% tell 'em to fix it.Edit: BTW make sure they tell you what the problem was. I'd also ask to see the old engine as well, just so there's no question they fitted a new one.

The king springs lowered the car 30mm.Tomorrow im tinting the windows which will make it look much nicer Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56010-could-this-be-a-sign-of-things-to-come/page/5/#findComment-862175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
