Hi I'm Bruce.
Have had Falcons for a number of years and now have a 2010 PK Ford Ranger 4x4.
I'm wanting to replace one of my headlights and have checked Youtube to find out the process. However everything on Youtube shows the US version of headlight which seams to be fitted totally different.
Can anyone help me with information on the process of replacing the headlight.
Many thanks.

Hi Bruce and welcome to AFF, check out the Ranger section and ask there.

Hi there, thanks for adding me. I've just recently purchased a 2006 Territory Ghia turbo. Have also owned a few Fords in the past. Looking for some advice on an issue with the climate control but I'll post that in the Territory section.

Hello all.

I am new to this forum. I live in Sydney. I used to own a 2008 Ford Fusion (pic attached) back in India and wish to buy a used 4x4 ute now. I am inclined towards a 2008/ 2009 Ford Ranger PK. I am not a technical person and have never owned a 4x4 before so looking forward to a lot of reading on these forums.

Hi All. We have owned a 2015 Diesel AWD territory from late last year. I stumbled across this forum and thought i will give it a go. Thanks for the welcome. Probably start with some pics in the Show Us Ya Boat / Territory. Will have to wash the terry first. Cant wash boat because we sold it 2yrs ago but it was a great looking boat. Thanks Rich.

Hi. First time on here, I have a 06 bf 4speed column shift ute that has started changing gears at random times. It will go from top gear at 100kph straight in to 2nd. I'm just trying to find out what could be causing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

It’s possibly a broken (yellow) wire in the connector between transmission and body harnesses, verified if the gear displayed on the dash doesn’t ever change. Can imagine it’s a bit unsettling.

Hi All,


Look forward to reading and posting. Own an FG1 XR6 E-gas ute & ans SZ territory diesel (towing and family duties). FG1 is at the point where the ford dealers don't seem to have the knowledge much any more (simple ICC re-code required "Fault finding" over an hour with a recent purchase - tried to explain there was no fault, just needed a re-code because there was a new part, but nope...), so maintenance has moved to that phase were you've gotta know more about it and exactly who actually knows!


Look forward to learning from you guys, and maybe even having some info to offer myself

Hi Ford Fans,
Thanks for letting me join.
Been a long time Ford fan. Have had Ford Escorts (in Europe) and a 2005 V6 Escape here (in AU).
Now have a 2019 Everest Trend 2.0 bi-turbo. Currently considering a PHEV Escape for the other half.
Cheers.

Hi to All, thank you for letting me join. I drive 2004 BA Ute - dedicated gas with 4 lpg tanks (clear ute tray).
I have this factory Bluetooth Hands Free by Lumen and not sure about one 2 pin plug, suspecting it is for mike. Has anyone come across this before?

Regards
to All,

Charlie
