Same fuel for last 70000km !!!! Not any sort of warning. Cruising to Bris. on cruise control, a metallic bang and then no power … that fast! K

SO what caused it Kallum ? Detonation ? I thought the BFs had knock sensors.What type of fuel were you running in it ?

Kallum over the last four years of my close association with Ford I have NEVE run across that problem. The closest I’ve seen is valve seat damage on a car that has (by the computer check) had a really tough life since it’s second owner took it on.

still in queue @ ford forums but have a go for me while I wait. This is a VERY expensive problem & everyone needs to know if there is potentially a manufacturyng or design fault. Have heard a few stories so far …..scarey! K

Anyone else with XR8 piston smashing probs? Mine cactus @92000km. Ford customer resistance won’t help. Appears to be a “known” issue??
