"A flawed Falcon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Where do I start!

Rear diff leak, coolant leak, Replaced head gasket and head, Stalling, new clutch. A way to optimistic trip computer on DTE, horrible brake shudder, Power steering leak, Engine surging.

Warranty has fixed most of the problems.

General comments?

The car goes like a raped ape. It looks seriously nice (Blueprint). But the build quality is a shocker. It handles well for its size and weight. I have always owned Fords, but this one takes the cake for reliability. I want my EL Falcon back which has far less trouble than my new XR6.

Woops stuffed up my survey.

Firstly it is a Manual.

Secondly Distance when acquired

33 miles.

(should be 33k's)

Most recent distance

25982 miles.

Should be 25982 K's not miles.
