[Sir Henry]

G'day All - I purchased a '06 BF MkII XR6T in August 2008 - Silhoutte 6 Speed Manual.

New to this site, which seems very confusing......so many categories!!

Can anyone tell me what can be done about squealing brakes? By squealing, I mean ALL the time. I have contacted Ford and they have said nothing can be done about it. All of the threads I have found on here apply to pre '04 models.

Does anyone have an idea of what can be done?

I'm gonna try and replace the whole shebang under new car warranty soon if all else fails.....I'm really pissed off.

Thanks!

probably just the pads mate ,you could try giving them a real good workout the discs or pads may have glazed up a bit if they haven't been used hard enough

and welcome

Good evening everyone

My names Matt I'm 23 and I reside in Bunbury WA. I own a 1996 EL Fairmont running an N/A BA DOHC six cylinder, transmission and ECU. You may have already seen the stupidly huge thread on Fordmods haha.

I found FXR6T.com a while ago when I was first researching what needed to be done for the engine conversion and found the site to be alot of help.

Anyway, here are a couple of pictures if you havn't seen my car yet. I hope to learn alot more from FXR6T.com!

Oh, while I'm at it, are cruises strictly for BA-FG Turbo cars? I'd love to tag along on one, but can understand if it's restricted to certain cars.
