Engine Check light no boost and misfiring YAY!But wait there's more!THe steering rack has gone all loose and creaky / floppy as well! Anyone got a towtruck?

If you've got the bank robbery plan happening, then IMO you should go all the way to Stage IV! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persistance does pay off after all. What was the "fix" Mine goes in on Friday and I mentioned the whine and was told they would try moving some wires....

O ring and steering rack faults seem to be quite common. A bit more overtime will see an APS III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Marcos! Overtime Hah! what's that? Never heard of it, me and my 9day fortnight roster Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I thought was the Steering rack being loose and requiring a regrease was actually a collapsed and rusted left wheel bearing All fixed now and no tinkling or tyre groan! (I wonder why that was there)Picture Right Here <-------------------Looks sweet too!Stage II APS here I come!Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, I may have been slightly wrong......Car went in on Monday to have the TSB (technical service bulletin) protocol done on my car.Came back to pick the car up at close of business only to find that the problem remains unfixed, and the TSB contained steps that have already been done on my car.Presently I am awaiting a call from the Ford CRC, before I am able to provide any further information to those of you still with this problem.Patience, I need patience! What was the cure for waiting to pick a new XR6Turbo up? Alcohol? Remind me someone! Cameron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
