I have a 1961 Ford Falcon that I am restoring and I am in need of some
parts.  Right now I am looking for a bench seat, steering wheel and
instrument panel knobs and switches.  I also want to convert from a 2 speed
automatic to a 4 speed manual.  So I am either looking for a ford 4 ...

Is it normal for these to require replacement after a few years?, IE 1996 V8
What's the cheapest price for these? ford's told me $95
The one on my Mercedes was $45  - ford parts are cheap, I think not.

The missus accidentally put diesel in the XE (4.1) the other day on her way
to work. The car was rescued the following morning after the task of
siphoning the tank to the last drop I could get out was complete (Why
couldn't it have a drain plug!!). Filled with 10 litres of petrol ...

My 88 XF falcon ute is making a noise from the right rear-end.
I thought it was the axle bearing , so jacked the wheel up to spin it
to see
if it was spins smooth ,and it's pretty much locked.Jacked up the

I am looking for a clue, in desperation. I've got a Ford Falcon
AU,1999, done 105k and its been always reliable. It is about a couple
of weeks that I keep hearing a kind of clicking noise from the back
when turing the vehicle. Ford has already checked it, and not

My radio/casette player got disconnected from the battery while an RACV guy
was getting the car started. Its one of the ones without the clock, with the
little joystick for changing the balance.
Now it wont start without a security code - which I don't have.

So what is the trick in getting a battery out of an EL Falcon. Unbolt it but
it still won't budge. Has a plastic cover around it which seems to not want
to separate. Is this supposed to stay behind or does it come out with it??
Is there something else holding it????

Had the head done on my 4L EBII about a year ago. I now have a small oil
leak at the front centre of the head gasket. There is no mixture of oil /
water occuring. Can I 'patch' this up somehow...ie a bit of silicon or
something? What should I use and how shoukd I go about it.

I have a couple of quick questions on the XF.
Why did Ford put that ridiculous bulge in the firewall on the passenger side
making it so bloody difficult to bolt a V8 in ?
On the six, is the EGR pipe supposed to go between the inlet tubes for the

hey there,
are there any people in Western Australia here that can recommend someone to
fix my EA.  I think the head is blown - there is water coming from the head
on the exhaust side of the engine (left) doesnt seem to be the core plugs,

I have just bought a late 98 GLi falcon, it has done 115,000km and is an
absolute dream to drive.  I have had quite a few people tell me that it is
the best falcon on the road which is what lead me to make my purchase... but
I am interested in any feedback other GLi owners may have. ...

I can't find a Australian Ford Fairlane specific newsgroup. So I hope
it's ok with this group to post here looking for parts. I do have a EB
Falcon too if that helps to qualify me :-)
Had the first 500mm or so of my Fairlane ripped off by a speeding car.

Can anyone help me with any info on getting installing and relative benefits
of  chipping my 2000 au II ute? What will be the power increase, at what
kinda cost, and is there a better alternative. Havent got big bucks!! thanks
in advance.

Looking for a new/used Bonnet for a AU falcon, in Maroan if possible.
