jonn Member 141 Member For: 16y 10d Gender: Male Location: Carrum, VIC Posted 24/03/11 11:53 PM Share Posted 24/03/11 11:53 PM Cheers for that mate. As for diff oil, Doesn't the whole cradle have to come out on the sedans? As for plugs. Do the coils over the plugs just pull up? Or is there a certain way to get them out? And is it just a deep 5/8 socket with a magnet or rubber to get the plugs out? Any plugs recommended? Thanks mateyeah well I use a 16mm deep socket with rubber for the sparks, take the plastic cover off. take the coil out., I got NGK with a 0.8mm gap. refer to the handbook at autobarn or where ever you get them for the part number.

jonn Member 141 Member For: 16y 10d Gender: Male Location: Carrum, VIC Posted 26/03/11 05:55 AM Share Posted 26/03/11 05:55 AM listen for any exhaust leaks, like a consistent spitting noise. my 4 bolts holding the turbo to the headers were loose! check that the oil feed line at the turbos end isnt dark in colour (could be a possible oil block if it is). you can compare it to the coolant line right next to it.cant really think of anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded a tad funny where yhr turbo was after taking it for a drive. I turned it off the opened tr bonnet to listen to it. It was spinning fine just sounded like a little rattle. Not sure if it was the heat shield or the turbo. It drove fine though. Didn't miss a beat n spooled nice. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was traded back to ford after 62 thousand kays and this guy bought it. Its done 110 thousand kays and last service was 95 thousand. It doesnt have any damage inside of the car like some ex cops do have. When I drove it. It pulled really hard. Just go go go basicaly. Im really concerned about the turbo that's all. As for the ex cop car. Im not to sure about that. But lots of people seem to have no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure it doesn't have too much play up/down or too much end-float backwards and forwards. It should only have a very slight amount of play either way.
