1987 Ford Falcon XF S-Pac review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable high performance machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
LPG system does not seem to like the motor. Keeps blowing the hoses of the airfilter. Did cause the engine bay to catch fire once.
General comments?
This car is extremely reliable.
Is very roomy and comfortable inside.
Still goes relatively quick for a car that has done over 280000kms.
She has served me well.
Am getting a rebuilt motor in next few weeks.
Does not handle too well has large amounts of body roll.
Chews through a lot of petrol. About 250 - 300 kms per an 80L tank.
