Hi all,

I have for sale our Ford EF XR8. We have had the car for a bit over a year now and was bought mainly for towing my car.

However since we bought it I have only used it once for towing and really have no need for the car anymore (having 4 cars already)

So here is the run down:

FORD EF 1996 XR8 AUTO

White

203,000kms

12 months rego

4 new tyres

New front and rear slotted rotors

New front pads

CD

Air

Power front windows

Power mirrors

Tow bar

Aftermarket headers

Twin stainless exhaust

Since we bought it the following has been replaced in services:

Top rad hose

New leads

Plugs

Battery

Rotor button

Ignition module

CAS

Fuel filter

Also had the front bar professionally repainted.

Has a minor scratch and a slight ding above the rear wheels arch but the paint is in very good condition for its age.

The gearbox looks to have been re-done at one stage by the previous owner as it is remarkably clean.

There is one slight bad point, when cold it will sometimes take a bit to engage 1st but happens only once then it's fine.

Price is $5500 ono.

Pics up soon but interested people can send me a PM for quicker pics.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
