Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 10m 3d 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.

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: 17y 1m 24d 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.

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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75637-new-gt-engine-gone-already/page/14/#findComment-1138554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
