Surely you would agree this ute doesnt come close to the Holden SSV appearance wise..the gap between the tray and the cabin..the body kits..the lights..it all just looks nicer and more expensive on the holden..this thing looks a bit cheap and trashy

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??
