Hey George!

I've got too many Ford's :roll: Dad's BF ute starter motor is playing up a bit. Do you mind letting me know an idea of what another genuine one is worth?

Cheers mate :mrgreen:


Is your Dad's ute a 6cyl? if so, they are very cheap on EBay, $30.00 I think?

Genuine one retail $220.00. Not meaning to be rude but have you checked the Relay? it could be that?
We have cheapy ones at work too but I am not sure about the price but can find out. :)

Hi George
Here is one for you.
Whatever seals/ O rings I need for the fuel pump/sender unit in an EL.
I reckon I stuffed up when I chnaged the pump in Donnas XR8 as now if you put a fuel tank of fuel in it pisses out of the access hole in the tank.
Figure if I have to pull it apart again to fix my stuff up Ill make sure I have all new parts on hand and fix it properly.

In EA - EL it is easy to NOT put the plastic screw nut back on properly and so you loose fuel. It is a silly idea that Ford had for holding in the Fuel Pump. You need a new seal EA9276A $34.00. Check the thread in the hold down Nut when you take it back off. If the Hold down Nut/Ring is damaged in the thread, you will need a NEW one, part number EA 9A307A before 20/02/1998.

BA-BF bonnet cables had lots of trouble and it isn't the ONLY thing that can break, the Fuse box that the Cable is located on can also break on these cars. The Bonnet Cable is BAF 16A665A $33.00 and the Fuse Box is BA 14A073A $103.50. They were a huge problem and you might also want to look at the Bonnet Lock to see if it is ok. Bonnet Lock BA 16700A $51.50.

These Bonnet Cables are the 3rd mod Ford has done to them.

ok cheers for that. so the handle and cable is 1 piece.


Yes like AU, they are all one piece. Bad design the way they added the cable to the car on BA/BF.
Funny thing is they have no problems with the SAME cable on the Territory?

I think Ford didn't put it in the right place in BA/BF and that is what cause a lot of headaches. They had a HUGE amount of Bonnet Lock problems in the early days too. Seems they fixed it about 2 years ago, right at the end of the model. :D

The Valve stem seals are EA 6571A and cost $6.50 each, I am sure that you will be able to get these from Repco or someone like them for a lot less.

Just be careful if you do get them after market, the last run of the EL's had different ones, they use the AU type.

Hello again Mr Smurf...

I've another one for you..... I need to fix my steering top uni thingy...

Image


The bell bottom bit goes on the steering rack.. I need the uni fixed or replaced at the other end. (it goes onto the steering shaft at the firewall to the intermediate shaft...)

I thought I'd just pull the one out of my spare EL and put it into my beast.. but the spare was almost as bad as mine... considering how little load these have on them I'm surprised they die like this. (power steering is doing 95% of the work)

Anyway, I had to cut the main steering shaft to get that off the firewall without pulling the dash out...

So, after all that, is there a kit I can rebuild it with or do I just buy a new one?
I don't see a part number on it though.... can you help mr Smurf sir?

Thanks for hooking us up with the O ring and clamp George.
Chucked it in this morning and no leaks as of yet..............
Actually has a full tank of fuel in it now for a change!
Can I still get EL GT extractors through Ford? I think the price will be a killer though..........
