G'day all, I've been a Ford convert now since 1998. At the time I bought a '92 ED Futura sedan for my growing family. That car covered a little over half a million kilometres before being passed on to my son in 2012 who drove it for another couple of years.
My current daily drive is an '09 FG XR8 Ute which I've had for the last 6½ years and it's taken me on a few big road trips since retirement in 2014.

Hi everyone, new to the forums. Last 3 cars have been XR's...BA XR6', FG XR6 Turbo and now FGX XR8 Supercharge Sprint which I absolutely love. I want to upgrade the exhaust to give it a better growl. Can anyone recommend someone for the work. I live in Sydney.

G'Day To all of you I have a 2002 AU II One Tonner. I'm hoping to obtain some insight from other AU owners in particular and also will put my two cents worth in on anything I can help with. Keep the rubber on the road.

Hello everyone. I have owned a few fords from Falcons, Focus and now Territory SZ RWD Diesel 2014. Don't know why I have had this inclination for Fords having driven, Fords, Toyotas and Holdens over more than 25 years as company cars. So that is why I ended up buying a Territory vis a vis aHyundai Santa Fe. At the moment I am dealing with a blank ICC screen and ordered an after market Kayhan Audio unit. I am having trouble installing it but will keep you posted when the project is complete. Thank you in advance for accepting me into the community

Welcome aboard mate, you'll find heaps of good info on technical stuff, ideas for car enhancements and people happy to help fix those annoying bugs a car coughs up sometimes, most advice is from experience so there isn

Hi folks, this is my first post here and I am excited to be a part of this forum. My name is Rohit, am based in India and currently drive a 2016 Ford Everest (called Endeavour here), 2.2 litres Manual Transmission 4x4. Looking forward to interact with you on various topics, although if you guys can suggest me where can I find workshop manual for Everest, that will be awesome! Cheers.

Hi Ford Forum,
Just got myself a 2014 PX Ranger. It’s fairly well decked out but still needs a few upgrades. Came here for a bit of advice and a look around.

Thanks for the add Ford Forums and Hi everyone. I have owned a number of Falcons over the years but I've had my 1998 AU Futura since day dot. Unfortunately we had an altercation with a Kangaroo last year, and while the Insurance Company wrote her off I brought her home to repair. My current ride is a 2015 FG X XR6. I'm looking forward to reading up on the wealth of knowledge on this site. Cheers!

Hi all thanks for the add !. I have a 98 el falcon that I have just purchased ! It had a new battery put in and now the radio code wont let me into the radio! Have the code but when it comes to the last number it comes up with a small font number not a large font like the other 3. Can anyone please tell me how to restore the codes or can you override them?
