Ask GTLegend in this thread about your options: https://fordforums.com.au/showthread...486578&page=48 and note the advice he recently gave bondy and specify if it is a V8 or inline 6. In any event, you should be able to source a full refurbished one with a warranty for less than that on ebay. There is this exchange option for starters:https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/36266309...Bk9SR5zUvrSEYg

Ongoing. Rung around B'bne, none on the shelf. I went to Supercheap and they got me one from Sydney overnite $439. Box said F'lane 6cyc, but wrong one. Took it back and different clerk look it up and said their record does not show a 2001 F'lane Ghia. They rekon it didn't come out till '03. Anyway another one coming, I'll probably go through the six of them, but feel confident it'll get done. Did this model F'lane come out with a 6 other than the VCT. ?
The car is at a mechanic half way to Capalaba, and I'mon Macleay Is. so a bit of a drama.
