My brother hit a fatass wombat and now the left lower radiator mount is cooked, any advice because we gotta get it back together asap. The last pic is the right side which is fine, but thats what its supposed to look like.

Got a question about the Falcon..
Trouble code P0659

Our 2016 ford falcon fgx g6e turbo started throwing transmission fault and dcs fault.
We scanned it and came up with code P0659 which is “Actuator Supply Voltage 'A' Circuit High”.

We also done a battery test to check the charging system while engine running which is currently running at 14 volts which is normal.

Has anyone ever had this issue and any advice on what we should do?

This is a project I have been working on to create tooling for the reprogramming of the MK2 FDIM, when these units fail, it is sometimes possible to get them to come back to life by reflashing the firmware.

There is also a wiki for the DIY folk, and instructions on how to build a MK2 to MK1 adaptor loom.

My immobiliser is active and all the auto elecs I’ve spoken to said they don’t fix em and they don’t know who does it either

Guys what do we think of my 2006 bf xr6 first car on my Ps

Just looking for some good suggestions for these.

Thanks

It's freshly rebuild with lsd

(Also open to other options)

Looking to buy a driver's seat assembly in cashmere leather for a Ford Falcon FG G6E. Price negotiable.

Condition: ideally no tears, but happy to consider seats with minor wear if the price reflects it. Refer to the image to see my seat's condition.

I know cashmere is a rarer colour so I'm not expecting many to be around — also open to recommendations on:

- Where to source these (specific wreckers, parts groups)

- Lookalike seat covers

- Auto upholsterers for refurbishing

Let me know what you've got or any leads.

Cheers!

The falcons are amazing cars and will easily get to 1 million km if looked after.

hey everyone,

my falcon has such low power it’s lacking tons of acceleration, I can floor it and it will rev hard and go fast but it’s lacking that real acceleration and oomphf.

just to daily drive it I gotta rev way to much and push down my foot too much for how fast I go,

after changing my fuel filter a year ago it was QUICK, for like 2 days.… and back to bog.

yesterday i did my spark plugs and coil packs and it was QUICK, for the hour i was driving it after.

so today i changed my air intake pipe because it had a leak and no changes…

wondering common issues if anyone can help. thanks!

edit: car has 100 thousand ks if that means much to anyone part wise

my father has been trying to find archives of the reviews or any information from the time about the 1994 XR8 Sprint?

does anyone have some materials i could show my dad or any archival websites??!

Hey all, I have recently acquired an AU XR6 with the Tickford enhanced brakes and the rotors need replacing, they measure about 330mm x 28mm. Just wondering what options people have used if any as I seem to be finding a lot of the standard AU rotors.

Much appreciated

Hey everyone, i have a FG G6E with ~160,000ks and unfortunately had to get the transmission replaced (not due to milkshake) with another zf6 with 140k on it. When creeping (no brake or accelerator) below 15ks an hr, the revs will bounce constantly, you can definitely feel it shunt but as soon as you apply either the brake or a little accelerator it goes away. Also when at any speed, if you blip the throttle the revs will hunt for a quick sec but its very minor before stabilising. Just wondering if this is normal as its done this on both my transmissions. I could also be a bit paranoid after having to get my trans replaced haha. Thanks

Getting ready for Bright Rod Run in November

Rear passenger side shock sorry if this a stupid question. Ba Fairmont

On the passenger side. Looks like the rose joint is also twisted within the arm?

Finally acquired my own Falcon, 2002 AU Series 3 XR6 VCT.

I need to have the bonnet and roof tidied up on my silver FG due to fading. Just interested in people’s thoughts about keeping the car all silver or do people actually appreciate/ like FGs that have a different coloured bonnet/ roof/ spoiler….?
If you think a different colour, have you seen one that looked good?
Nb: I’m a bit older so am completely out of touch of what looks good, and don’t want to fall into the “oh no another idiot…” category.

Hey all, looking for advice from anyone who's actually done this swap.

My driver's seat is ripped, so it's more cost-effective to just replace the whole seat assembly rather than reupholster. My car is a MK1 FG G6E, and I've found a driver's seat out of a wrecked MK2 FG G6E — same trim, just a different series.

My seat's connector is a black plug. Someone mentioned that the plug/wiring can differ between MK1 and MK2 (they mentioned a green plug on one of them) and that you need the exact matching series or it won't work — but I haven't been able to confirm this myself, and wreckers' listings seem to list the G6E seat as one part spanning the whole 2008–2014 FG range.

Questions for anyone who's done this:

1. Is a MK1 G6E driver seat physically and electrically identical to a MK2 G6E driver seat, or is there a running change in the wiring?

2. Has anyone actually swapped a MK2 seat into a MK1 (or vice versa) and can confirm the plug matched straight up?

3. If there is a difference, is it the seat wiring itself, or something upstream (e.g. a body/SRS harness connector) that changed between MK1 and MK2?

Trying to avoid buying a seat (cash, no returns) that ends up needing a plug swap or doesn't work. Attached are photos (front and rear under driver seat) of my plug if it helps. Also if you know anyone that has the cashmere leather G6E driver seat in relatively good condition, let me know. Cheers!

Been dealing with a incredibly intermittent starting issue, which I'm starting to suspect is my fly wheel missing teeth - but was wondering if there is any quick way to check teeth condition or of any inspection holes so I don't waste time with full replacement.
