Hmm, fair point!! Question for papasmurf: when you say 'the bar itself', as in the bf1 fairmont Ghia bar, is that part number the same as the bf1 xt front bar? Are the actual bumpers different between the bf1 xt/SR/fairmonts at all?

Hi Papa, firstly thanks for the help with fixing the power steering leak in my AUII 6 after i had replaced the pump regarding the new adaptor nut
Now i have just purchased an AUII V8, and the power steering pump is buggered, and i am wondering when i replace this pump can i get away with a new o-ring on the high pressure line, or am i gonna have the same dramas again and need a new adaptor nut/new HPline? Also my new car has a locked radio, do i just supply ford the VIN number or do i have to remove radio and give them the serial as well. Whats the going rate for supplying the code these days? |

I think it is better to get a price from a Ford Parts dept first then go hunting a better price. I would always caution people to make sure that the quality of the CHEAP part they are buying is at least comparable to Genuine and, in the case of a expensive item make sure there is some sort of warranty attached. One other thing, ALWAYS ask an Ebay seller questions and don't let the pretty pic or that sales spiel get you sucked in. One other thing, when you buy Genuine Ford, the part is covered by a 12 months/20,000 klm warranty that is NATION WIDE and you can ALWAYS take it to a Dealer Service dept to have the faulty item replaced at NO cost, just have to keep the invoice you bought it on and maybe you could jot down the date you fitted it and the klms showing, this is something needed when you have a part that needs a warranty replacement. |

EBay is always my first stop, but are the dealerships our second option? I just thought I'd add here that alot of eBay sellers are actually selling new genuine items for MORE than the Ford retail price. ALWAYS check out the Ford price, THEN price the items elsewhere. Look at this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Fairlan ... 3ca66440e8 The seller is asking $119 for a pair of these indicators. From Ford, they are less than $90 a pair, as Papa Smurf has quoted. I have seen the same thing happen with the NF/NL Fairlane Corner Lamps, selling on eBay for $300 a pair. They are $120 approx each from Ford. Just trying to help people not get ripped off. People often think eBay will be cheaper, when its often not.  You can find the same thing happening with wreckers too. You are SO right

I am sorry that I have led you astray with the price on the bar, the one I quoted is the BFII Ghia bar, the BFI bar is BAF 17C831 A $402.00 and the Fog lamp surrounds are BAF 17776 B R/H, BAF 17777 B L/H and are $83.00 each. The bar itself means just the plastic shell, no grille o anything else with it. |

With the HP line it would be better to use the same adaptor as the 6cyl one you got, it will fix the leak issue much better. As Loy_Ryda said, you CAN be lucky and find a dealer who will not charge you but they can charge up to $25.00 for it. You need to take the rego papers and a license to get the radio code normally and just giving them the 6FPAAA JGSW....... should suffice. I would strongly suggest you write the number either in the owners book or give it to your Missus or Mum?

Oooookay, thanks for that. I'll probably source the bar itself from a wrecker, then grab genuine fog surrounds and lamps. Thanks man.

As to the interior lamps, the same thing, obsolete

Hi George,
Technical question time. Could you put up a comparrison diagramm of the SX/SY Territory Rear brakes compared to the AUII rear brakes. I am looking at doing a rear brake upgrade, as the fronts are done, but feel i need an equivilant rear set up. Our work Territory has MASSIVE rears, i think it is an SY. Cheers Brett

Cheers Brett thats what my wrecker told me to use when I done my fronts, so it's been done. He mentioned something about swapping calipers left/right because they're opposed on the terry ? iirc. Keen to see that info!

Cheers Brett Brett, I am doing the rear conversion on Lucifa to standard rear BA brakes using BA Wagon/Ute backing plates as they are different. The Territory rear brakes are the same as the BF Hi series. To fit them to an AUII you would need to replace the rear calipers, backing plates, brake shields and of course, discs. They are 328mm discs and are vented. The rest of the stuff on your vehicle you could use. Unfortunately the pics are for standard discs only. |
