Hi!!

I've just found this website and though I'd introduce myself. I drive (infact my wife does at the moment) a 2003 XT BA in the ocean blue colour. My drive at the moment is a Toyota Landcruiser but I'm trading it in on an EL-AU on gas.

I used to work on EF-AU taxis, along with some VR-VT taxis as well. Bottom line was that the Fords would last for well over 1,000,000km, while the holdens basically fell apart after 350,000km!! Thus, I much prefer my fords!!

I'll post up some pics and join in the forums much more once I have sold my cruiser. I'm looking forward talking to you all soon!!

Cheers,

Paul

Hi and welcome to the forum. :

You have come to the right place for a wealth of information and for even a bit of a laugh.

Ive literally saved hundreds ( thousands if i took it to ford ) on mechanics bills over the last three years with the advice i have got on here in fixing and maintaining my car.

Good luck with your purchase.
