The ball joints were a supplier issue, and are now sorted.

However, Ford Warrants ball joints till 150,000k’s regardless of age

Ford Australia have ha a diesel Territory mule running around since “O4″ Ford U.S. knocked back the release said it was “not required”. Then the global recession hit that’s why the huge delay.
That’s why all the U.S. car manufactures went bust NO fore thought.
So not Ford Australia’s fault

I have identified the new territory engine, it is also found in the new landrover Discovery 4…..this is a power house engine for a “FORD 600Nm All wheel drive” the territory is also 488kgs lighter than the landrover discovery4 making it a workhorse there is also a 2.7L diesel to work with as well with lower power figures…

The Territory is expected to use a variant of the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel jointly developed by Jaguar-Land Rover and Peugeot. Diesel prototypes are currently on the road being developed, with introduction slated for the first half of 2010.

I really hope that the brand new Jaguar V6 diesel at 3-litre will make it in the Territory

“Update 02/03/2009: We have discovered that Ford will be releasing the diesel Territory in April, 2009. The diesel Territory will be powered by Volvo’s inline 5-cylinder diesel motor – named the D5 in the Volvo camp.

The engine is expected to produce 136kW and 400Nm of torque.”

Any confirmation of this yet???

As Frontman says, I too would like to see a I6 into a diesel. Wouldn’t be too hard, would it? Take out the spark plug and beef up the blocks.

A 4 cyl. diesel for a Falcon is a good idea too, cheaper rego for 4 cyl. For a large 4WD like the Nissan patrol, they run a 3 litre 4 cyl. diesel.

That is good news (the updated info)

Maybe PG is correct and we may get the newer version?

This will boost sales significantly.

Maybe with a bit of luck we will get the new generation D5 (twin turbo, 153kw 420nm) that is due to be released mid year in the UK. This wouldnt be a bad thing at all.
