Default Bit of Help

Hi all,

I recently inherited an ED falcon from my older brother. I live on the Central coast and want to know where I should take it to get serviced. My normal mechanic has no idea..
Currently, It is gutless as all hell and chews about 1/4 tank for about 30kms driving (I'm not kidding) and it's getting expensive.
If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know as I love the car and would hate to have to sell it.

Thanks

Just about any ford dealer, repco or ultratune could do it. Get some different quotes but i suspect at that rate you either have a hole in your fuel tank or all your fuel is going straight out the exhaust unburnt...or both.
