Q. Im 18 and i want a hefty car as il need to be towing a few boats, im thinking about the Ford Falcon BA (around 2003), but im wrried about the big 6cy 4l engine chewing up the fuel so I might opt to install an LPG system with the 2grand government rebate, does any1 recommend this, or could any1 give me any real incentive to buy ne of these cars or any other good options?

A. it all depends on how you drive them to how much fuel you use, when i tow the dune buggy with my EF i can drive it so i keep to my 100 everywhere or drive it more gently and let it slow for hills, if i drive it hard i am lucky to get 300kms out of a 60lts. if u drive it more gently i can get 500. why don't you look for a dedicated Egas falcon. they still have a half decent amount of power.

A. According to Red Book, a new XK Falcon sold for $2636 in Sep 1960, its first year of manufacture. XKs were built until August 1962 when the XL was released, so it's fair to say an XK bought in 1961 would have been sold for about the same figure...

what is the equivalent of a ford falcon in the US?
Q. or is there more than one possibility? A falcon in Australia is a V6
Asked by think72 - Sat Mar 15 01:21:16 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The original Ford Falcon came out in 1960 and had a 250 cid inline six cylinder engine. First American compact car.However within a couple years a pretty potent 260 cid V8 was offered. In 1964 you could get them with a 289 but then the Mustang took over. At the time the Australian version was pretty much the same as the American except for it had right hand drive. The American version of the Ford Falcon was discontinued in 1970, by then is had grown into a midsized car. The Australian version is still being manufactured. As for it's North American equivalent I would say probably the Ford Taurus would be the closest in body style to the current generation of Australian Falcons.

Future of Ford Motor Company in Australia?
Q. Just seeking some opinions here in a public forum. I am an employee/tradesman at the Ford Falcon assembly plant in Broadmeadows, Melbourne Australia. With all the news of Ford losing $8.7 billion dollars last quarter, and closing many plants and sacking tens of thousands of workers in the US, how much longer can the Australian manufacturing division of Ford go untouched? We just launched the new Falcon model inj April and are already planning to reduce shifts and we have down days (production employees stay home, paid 50%) once a fortnight. And we just launched a new model! There is plans to build the new 2010 Ford Focus in Australia and not South Africa, but I don't understand why, in the current climate, it makes sense to do so.

A. if our dollar weakens, then it seems likely that Australia could become the rear-wheel drive production centre of Ford globally. Ford in US would save quite a lot of money. If our dollar stays as strong as it is, or worse, gets stronger, than I doubt that this would happen. It would not be profitable enough, and production could halt all together, and (as much as I wouldn't like this to happen) Australia could be left without any of its own models, and minimal production here. Ford could even end up just selling US models here, or just surrender all its fleet sales to Holden... Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck. At least all the Chrysler blokes, got to go to Mitsubishi when they first opened here...

Lovers of Australian cars! Ford Falcon Pedigree Question!?
Q. Is the Ford Falcon, as produced in Australia in the 1980s, actually technologically derived from the British/ German Ford Granada of the late 70s? It seems to share many of its body panels, but doesn't have the same rear suspension, dash, and engine range. Also, I'm surprised by the fact that this car is actually more economical with its big 4.2L engine than the European with its tiniest ones. How does it do THAT? I'm getting 9L/ 100km out of it, as opposed to my Granada 2.8 V6 in Britain, which guzzled 14 to 18 at best.

A. Yes you are right there is a lot of cross engineering from country to country as this makes a lot of economic and logistical sense. The reason the 4.1 is more economical is it has engine management and the European car was carburettor-ed and grossly under powered. Jules auto tech/lecturer. Australia.

A. Have not heard of any problems,but in hot climates this is not a very good system,you are better off to install a external oil cooler,it will reduce the temp by at least 15to20degs over the built in one.

New Odometer?
Q. Ok so we bought a car from a second hand dealer, immaculate inside and out, except for a leak here and a scratch there, but the thing is the odometer has since stopped working. we ordered a new one but when we asked a freind if we need to change the odometer to reflect the old Kilometres travelled they said yes, but i have no clue how to go about it. Anyone know how to do this and can give me an idiot proof guide to it would definately be on my must give $1,000,000 list lol. help please p.s i live in australia and the car is a Ford Falcon EA 1990 model, if it helps.

A. I never had an EA. But in a Mazda, and I imagine any car with a mechanical odometer, use a pick tool, come in from the side, gently grab the notch on the first wheel, press down GENTLY and then pull the pick-tool. That should move the number around. You may need to do this a few times per wheel as you can't rotate each wheel far with each pull. After the first is done, do the second I suggest moving the wheels in the same direction as they normally turn. Inspecting the unit prior to modifying will show you this. Like any good Aussie, omit the first 200,000km :)

Does this bill seem reasonable? or do you think the mechanic is doubling up/over charging?
Q. I recently took my car in for a service and rego check (in NSW Australia). The car was running fine before I went in. It is an Automatic 1996 Ford Falcon EF with a gas conversion. This is the itemised bill + charges: Pink Slip: $45.20 Service Enginge: $299.00 Coolant Flush and Refill: $120.00 New Rear brake cable and adjust handbrake: $195 New Enginge Drive Belt: $136.95 New Positive Battery Terminal: $48.00 Degrease Underside of Engine: $65.00 Supply Engine Treatment and Stop Leaks: $55.00 Supply and Fit New Rear Muffler: $298.00 GST: $126.22 Total: $1388.37 Since I have had the car back it feels heavier, makes horrible sounds when I accelerate, doesn't like to accelerate fast and stalled whilst driving up a hill. I have taken it back… [cont.]

A. Don't know about the pink slip, or is it for annual roadworthy? (Don't have them in Vic.) Engine service sounds expensive unless they changed the plugs. Coolant flush and refill seems a bit high. Engine drive belt?. I thought those things had chains, they don't need replacing unless broken. Battery terminal is a con, unless he means a new lead, then it should only be $20. Engine treatment and stop leaks are about $10 each. Muffler, a bit high but maybe with labour ok.

Mad Max manual supercharger?
Q. I was just watching The Road Warrior, and I noticed that Max has a Ford Falcon with a manual belt-driven blower operated by a button on the shifter. I've seen another movie set in Australia where a woman is driving a '59 Chevy with a manual roots blower operated by a button. Anyways, I was wondering if there is such a thing because recently I've learned a lot about superchargers and a manual one that turns on and off makes no sense to me. First of all, an engine that can handle the boost from a big roots blower needs to have very low compression (7.5-1 to 8-1 or so). And they also need a very large fuel system such as two 600 Holley carburetors. So when the supercharger isn't activated, the engine will be very sluggish and very over… [cont.]

A. Those systems simply do not exist and never have. With today's technology, it could be done with a blower, fuel injection and bypass ports even if only vacuum controlled, but nobody seems to care. Especially by using a big 6-71 and dual carbs. Turbo's, fuel injection and fully controllable waist gates would be the way to go. I've heard of car's running for 50 or so miles on the highway after a blower belt flew off just to get home but yea... ...

Why do Australians only race 4 door sedans?
Q. I came across some Australian car magazines, Street Machine, Street Fords, Motor Racing Australia and High Performance Imports. Almost every car was a 4 door, even full race tube framed cars were made to resemble a 4 door car. Is that the reason they don't have the Camaro, Mustang or Corvette? One magazine said the Datsun 510 was only available as a 4 door, another said that about the Falcon and I didn't even know RX3's and Skylines came with 4 doors . Chuckles, I guess what I'm saying is if a car is offered in both, the 4 door version is prefered over the 2 door. The people who race the Z's, RX7, Soarers, etc, have no 4 door option. Corupted, Not buying the longer wheelbase thing. That's only good for drag racing. A 2 door is… [cont.]

A. We used to race cars in the 50's, 60's and 70's that you would just be able to buy from the dealer. I guess the tration has stuck. We all so race many other types of vehicles in different races. But the two big four doors are generally known as the V8 super car series. Holden and Ford. I guess your a Yank but we only import Mustangs or Corvettes in limited numbers some do race though. Australia has a few factory and performance racing teams and vechiles try looking up hsv.com.au (Holden) or fpv.com.au (Ford) You might be interested in the Pontiac G8 which is an Australian SS commodore. Hope this helps.
