hehe...yeah..the boulder...we heard it hit....very loud bang..but the car kept going....we got home....and didnt notice the oil pressure was low until a few days later (theres an oil pressure guage in the dash).

as for the exterior..its got its share of scratches and dings from being used as a farm car as well as bring driven on the highways - we had a swarm of locusts up here one year on teh farm and went driving....the windsreen was covered in them and the whole front of the car got chipped :( . Also all the wheat stalks and dust hitting the under skirting has worn off all the paint. but if u polish it, it doesnt look as bad.

the interior is in pretty good nick considering - when I got it the inside was trashed - oil stains, diesel, dust - u name it, it was in there! So I took it in and got the interior drycleaned - I had 4 guys there scrubing it...I got my moneys worth :)

needless to say that we've gotten our moneys worth and I'm now 22 so its time to move on - I order the T tomorrow! cant wait!!!

750kms, so maybe not a good indication, but:

1. Whistle/fzzzzzz from top of windscreen at >110 km/h (known issue)

That's it!!

Hey Rabbit,

Outta all those Faults Have they all been fixed?

My Only Current outstanding fault is the Premium Sound Whine, EDSR sent to Ford....... AND STILL WAITING! :censored:

Oh yeah that's right its not powerful enough MORE MORE MORE MORE!

240kw? :innocent: 440kw! :banghead:

Actually I have been reading (yes I know I can do it even though I went to a public school) an article on the Mercedes AMG CL65 450kw and over 1000nm of torque! Yummy yummy!

Almost twice the XR! Does good burnouts apparently! ;)

Now where's that bank :pinch:

This is my 9th brand new car, now 4000klms, very disapointed in the quality of the finish interior and exterior :angry: Have always been a ford fan, but due to circumstance have had 3 Holdens, never a problem quality of finish alot better :smilielol: Cannot believe I said that!

Problems with my T: Clunking steering, misfiring, Questionable finish on some of the welds (Really Bad!!) :angry:

Maybe I should have gone the Supercharged Calais! lol :thumbsup:

Other than the Brake Squeal...no other issues...6,000 k,s on the clock and running beautifully. :smilielol:

Likewise - as it stands now. Once I sorted out the electrical issues after delivery, no problems.
