Hi all, Mick here. I have decided to join as this looks like a great forum to learn more about the technical side of current Fords, particlarly my BF Falcon (stock, MarkII, XT....and planning to keep it that way) which I purchaed from Jefferson Ford in Mentone VIC and have run into a few problems with the car, which I will post in the relevant section of this forum. Thanks!

Hi All Craig here

Wondering if anyone could tell me if I can swap the cruise control out of my old mans AU1 sedan straight into my AU2 one tonner ?????..........Cheers

Geez Louise · 20-01-2013, 09:29 PM

Welcome everyone.

cspong69, be a good idea to post your question in either the AU Falcon.com.au section of the forum HERE or in the AU-BF Falcon section HERE

I am sure a member will be able to answer your question in one of those sections.

Cheers
Col

Hi all,

Been a member here for ages just have not made a post. Thought I'd say hi, and that Im about to purchase a FPV F6. Cant wait!

JessieXT · 20-01-2013, 10:35 PM

Hi Ford fans ! I love the old classic Fords, like the Escort Mk 1 or 2, very fond of Cortina Mk III and I fancy Ford Granadas (shame they never made it here from England). I drive a modern Falcon but maybe one day I'll get a classic. Look forward to checking out pics of cars here.
Cheers

hello to all members,
My name is Matthew and I am new to this forum. Please be kind to me. Do not have me looking for skyhooks or send me out for a long wait (weight)
I do have a lot of left handed screwdrivers however. I joined to gain an insight into the joy and indeed great fulfillment that anything automotive can deliver.
I look forward to meaningful exchanges.
thanks, matthew, aka nudgelboy

Hi to every one. I have got a ba xr8 with boss 260 motor which puts out 241rwkw. I am just about to change the radiator and water pump. Should i go with the 33% coolant or mix it at 50% ? ? ???

meanu · 21-01-2013, 01:30 AM

Hello to the FORD Forums Community. This is my first post.

My name is Ian ORRELL and am a retired Mechanical Engineering Associate/Technical Teacher and a Vietnam Veteran. My interests are many. Since I retired in 2002, I don't know how I ever found time to go to work. Has anyone found days with 48 hours.

I've knocked on Heaven's Door a couple of times and life is too short. Too much to do.

I have owned a few Falcons XC, XF, ED Series ll and at present an AU Series ll.

I have rebuilt the C4 XC, Borg Warner 35 Escort Mk1, Borg Warner 40 XF, and XF Ghia.

The Au Series ll has a BTR 4 Speed in it and I'm not too sure of the transmission Number. The Name Plate is damaged.

At the moment, I am having trouble with Reverse.

you can feel Reverse come on, but not a full boosted line pressure [I think]

If there boxes are similar to the EB Series ll 4 Speed, then the C3 Clutch should be engaged, B2 Band should be applied. S1 & S2 should be ON.

Looking at the Fluid paths, these two elements are supplied with booster line pressure when engaged.

I haven't looked at it yet, but has anyone had a similar problem.

Question

What is the Correct Transmission Number BTR ?????

Kind Regards

Ian ORRELL

Hello Friends
I am Ran and joined this excellent knowledge base site just 2 days ago. I have a question for my ED FALCON 93 car When I put it on drive its idle RPM goes down and when Ac on it goes down further. It never stalls but it looks some thing going wrong . I replaced O2 and map sensor cleaned the isc valve throttle body. But no use. Car goes pretty well no dramas but I am concerned with the low idle rpm. The ecu should maintain it. Please help
thanks friends and cheers

Am new to the forum. Have finally done it. Bought a g6E Turbo Anniversary model. So now you young ones can look at me and say "What a waste, a fast car like that being waisted on an "Old Fart".
Its a really lovely car. Pity Ford left their run so late.

TRY adjusting base idle screw in 1/4 turn at time - have you had flat or replacement battery - ecu will need to learn new base idle - just about every ea - ed falcon will need base idle reset . once you screw in 1/4 turn try putting gear with A/C on and jab throttle if idle dips or A/C clicks in and out screw base idle screw in some more
