Do you know if the new BA or BF pump fit the EF/EL's ? ba water pump fits a au2 perfectly, i would 'think' it fits ef/el's, best to ask an experienced ford parts guy thats how we found out.

yeh i totally agree with the bonnet cable thing, I have had no problem with my BA or BF with regards to the engine block. Biggest problem I have head with the two cars is a replacement throttle body sensor. Ever considered the fact that maybe ford send the f**k ones over to NZ? Smaller market to service for . . . LOL 
In all honesty I have a mate who is a mechanic here at one of the holden dealerships, and they had 6 VY GTS HSV's blow up on pre-sale testing by their mechanics during test drives . . . . now if you as me thats a big f**k problem ! ! ! I own a BF and a BA . . dont pay out on them, they are awsome.

I've got no probs with my engine thats done 30000k's but i had the front tyres on my 03 xr6 replaced under warranty due the sidewall cracks. rang around a few local tyre dealers and said it was a common fault with that tyre not the car its fitted to. Other common probs with BA's that i know are brake squeal, park brake rubbing, interior fan bearing noisy. Mine has/had all these but still a fantastic car to drive
