Welcome.

Having a look through the technical resources database I came across this:

http://www.fordforums.com.au/vbporta...article&id=936

It shows how to remove it.

Cheers

Hi, tried a Newbie post a couple of days ago. Known as Philfixit, Philip is my name I own a 2005 TS AWD Territory. Purchased to tow the Caravan, at 2.25 tonne the Territory handles it better than I had anticipated. I live on the Central Coast of NSW and have only had a couple of Fords proir to the Territory. An XT GT (prior to Children) and a little later an X-Channel 7 News Cruiser, a 302 XD Wagon. So at 56 years of age, I have played with a number of makes and models. Thanks for the warm welcome and best wishes.

Hello Guys

I have been searching on some information on Falcon and found it interesting tp join thr forum site.
I have a Ford Falcon 1995 in an immaculate condition. Body, Engine Gear Box, Paint. all are still factory originals. It has gone so far 83K KM. Driving it is a real joy, as if you are driving a brand new car.

Hope you all are doing well.

Cheers

Joseph

Hi Ford Fans,
Newbie to the site. Just brought a 2001 AU2 XR8 Ute (well my wife did. She said it would offset the midlife crisis and it was cheaper than a blonde) 5 speed manual with Herrod Motorsport 250kw engine. Black in colour of course. Have been trying to find owners manual /service manual with no luck anybody got ideas where to find them.Any good paint/panel shops in W.A that any one can recommend as we are going to strip it and respray it .

Cheers Gecko02

Hello everyone,

Just signed up. Looking forward to checking out all the rides out there. I've recently picked up a spankin new LW Focus Titanium in Panther Black with the TDCI Duratorq.

Can't wait to discuss your ideas for mods and unlocking the potential of our P&Js.
