Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 4m 7d Gender: Not Telling Posted 06/09/11 09:15 PM Share Posted 06/09/11 09:15 PM I guess internet info can be a little dangerous and misleading. From all we know, cranny could be apart of HSV marketing division. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 07/09/11 02:30 AM Share Posted 07/09/11 02:30 AM (edited) Me too. I'd buy one. But this time I will only hand over the cash after a thorough inspection and test drive. nothing to do with the Motor. All to do with Ford.If it threw a rod it would not drive "Fine" as old mate stated. They're forged rods and would do a hell of a lot of damage if he drove ti with a thrown one slapping around. A forged rod will beat a cast case every day and it would be bringing sunlight to the sump if it was a jiggy jigging.It could be as simple as an oil pump to the teeth not meshing perfect in the charger.My bet is Ford gave him a new car and slapped him with a confidentiality clause to go with the new car.

cranny Donating Members 123 Member For: 16y 7m 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 07/09/11 04:54 AM Author Share Posted 07/09/11 04:54 AM Fellows there is a reason I have not said much on the forums my solicitor has advised me not to say to much particular negative I would not want a case of defamation on my hands.to give you guys a update FPV have acknowledged there is a problem. there is another guy in the same situation as me both of us have sought legal advice.so far I have had a diff replaced, steering rack repaired, two pcv valves replaced, a new cat, rear brake was leaking and replaced and a power steering switch replaced. and I only noticed yesterday that the new diff is leaking oil.when I get confirmation from FPV on exactly what's wrong with the motor I will fill u guys in. I would not want to scare any one off buying a new GT I think this is a isolated issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so I would be a billionaire!In any case, no-one can help you on here, only Ford can - so focus on that Edited 07/09/11 05:55 AM by CBXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
