Farking more confused than ever now.. But think I might have to do them. Farking got to go rob a bank again to get more money.

Start moving some roids pazz and stop needling all the profits. Your balls will thank you for it :)

Sounds like this is really the major weak point of FG's. At least Valve Springs fail slowly.

How hard is it to stick an F6/F6E cluster into a normal XR/G6? I let mine warm to normal on the coolant gauge (a little below half way) and let it sit there before I give it any. In Winter, it has taken 12km/20mins to get there and when I was stopped at the lights, the coolant temp actually dropped...

Would be good if we can transplant the F6 cluster in with the oil pressure gauge.

not very hard at all.

straight swap.

take it to a dealer because they need to code it.

cost me about $60 to fit and code, I supplied my own cluster.

FPV cluster is oil temp and not oil pressure but still works well enough and looks factory.

Yeah, it's the stock look that makes it attractive even though it doesn't have oil pressure. Temp is still better than nothing.

Do you know whether its possible to buy the cluster from Ford or is it restricted like other FPV parts?
