Return from what? The transmission cooler is water cooled and mounted to the side of the transmission, nothing to disconnect/connect to. Stick your head under the passenger side and you will see it. Be aware these transmissions need to be at a certain temp to replace fluid and check levels. Maybe g...

Do you think think it will be ok still?

In my opinion you will be ok, I would do the same if adding a fuse block.

I find the oem brakes are fine so for me I will use ford genuine parts for next replacement when needed.

Not true the conrods are removable. But they are not supposed to be re-used. The problem is just buying one piston. Also I would get the injectors checked, odds on the cracked piston was caused by a faulty / sticky injector. Rebuild kits are available Example https://umrengines.com.au/page/2/?make=...

Just hoping to follow up and find out how everyone who got the accent canopy has found it? I’m looking at getting one, but read some bad reviews online.

Thanks guys

Have had mine for a few years now with no regrets if any I would certainly buy another one for next vehicle.

Cheers

Correct me if i am wrong, the Ford manual says to tow in S, on the video he clearly states he is Auto!! Don't know if this would have made much difference, but sure you would read the manual first Does the manual really recommend to tow in Sport mode? I've looked and couldn't actually find anything...

Go read your ford service guide book, you can use SAE5W-30 that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5-08

And servicing confusion already exists, why is it that Ford specify 15,000 Km oil change intervals, and Mazda 10,000 for the exact same engine? Because Mazda specify a lower grade of oil. I thought Mazda was same as Ford specs for the 2.2 & 3.2 engines, usually increased sump capacity also plays a ...

Sounds like it may be green and yellow Well when i used to have a KTM the old saying was If you didn't buy an orange one you may have just bought a lemon. Seriously all this could have be avoided if they had employees who care but how can you do that if no one gives a FlICK all the way to the state...

Seven years with my current XLT and I will be interested in the next model for sure before I retire, I still think the ranger looks the best than what the competition offers.

Consumer affairs is your answer to your problem or a solicitor which will cost you.

Tailgate central locking is $17 from jaycar. Have just done my 20.25 ranger. Does that include harness, plugs, mounting bracket etc. I know it can be done on the cheap, but this kit is good quality. So does this have its own remote or uses the car remote :roll: It works with the car remote as I hav...

I would be open to owning a Kia or Hyundai ute . If the quality and warranty of their current offerings is anything to go by , then ; welcome them in , I say . I state the above much along the lines that the new Ford ( and Toyota ) offerings will be freakin expensive things . So , as I approach the...

Looking at buying a 2015 XL3.2 4x4 auto ute and wondering if there's anything I need to look for, it's done 54,000kms and is an ex government car. I'm a bit old school so I'm not entirely sold on auto gearboxes but it drives ok, are they strong enough to cope with towing a car trailer for example ?...

I had ARB fit my rack but went for the one without mesh, got me stuffed how you could wash the top of canopy with limited room to do so with the mesh.
I find my rack fit for purpose.

I'd like to know the if the "starting point" is correct. That is are the kerb weights as published by ford correct? So has anyone weighed their Ranger stock, as delivered, full fuel tank, without occupants, luggage or cargo and with all standard equipment. I weighed my Ranger a few back where I wor...

My ute, as purchased. Clean, tidy and basic. 20191126_124000 (2).jpg New wheels and tyres fitted. 20191126_164222 (2).jpg First decent drive ended like this. 20191208_213610 (2).jpg I hit a full grown beef cow at 100kph.

It will be interesting to see the full specs on this little ute.

4wdsupercentre have a one day sale on today - some pretty cheap gear for those people getting set up for touring, camping or 4wdriving ! I think the 2.5 mtr x 2.5 mtr awning with strip light and free delivery for $129 is good value - I've had one on both my 4wd's for a number of years now and very ...

Interestingly who ever bank rolls a scientist thesis/research can influence their outcome and I think that has been proven in some cases. :o ;) Cheers.

Can you prove that? I swear it is getting colder as I'm getting older....what do you say to that?

As I have already said " I am Fully unqualified ". However the problem as I see it is "we" have not invented renewable energy yet, And if the global population continues to degrade energy at the current rate we are stuffed. But wait there's more, About half the global population who currently live ...

Hey guys, What's the trick to getting the sunglass holder/ interior light panel out, need to feed some wiring thru. Also the drivers a pillar trim, just clipped on? Did a search nothing came up!!

Welcome, nice looking rig you have there.

With 63 years of my own observation the weather is definitely changing, you cannot deny mans industrialisation of the world in the last 200 years has contributed to this.

The float and boat trailer both have led lights but the boats are a few years old. The box trailer are globes. If the sparky cant fix it this time I will give the Ford adaptor a go. Thanks for the reply. Cheers dave Do your research on this forum regarding the use of trailer led lights as it was re...

Quick update, Took the Wildtrack back to the auto electrician yesterday and discussed the symptoms and the information contained in the Ford body & equipment manual. Picked up later in the day and was told the trigger wire had been moved to the brake pedal as per the manual. Got home and hooked up ...

Thanks all. The auto electrician says he has tried wiring it to the brake as well but same fault occurs. He says he has spoken to redarc and has also spoken with other auto electricians. He has looked at it 3 times with no joy. When the trailer is connected there it works perfectly. Sent from my iP...

Hi All I am after any help please. Since my tow pro elite v3 was installed I have had blinkers intermittently fast on the dash but fine on the outside. Also my reverse camera lines disappear and the beeps don’t work. Also all intermittently. It seems as though it thinks there is a trailer there int...

If you are fair dinkum with selling your classic pride and joy then these links are for you, you could also advertise through local classic car clubs.

I have often wondered why TAFE does not run some introductory electronic mapping/navigation courses. You would have to think there is a large grey nomad population that might sign up!
