I am interested in any information on BA xr8's. i bought a new one in 2004 and have a number of problems ranging from new engine, steering racks and colapsing springs and are having to fight Ford Australia every inch of the way. I have 22 pages of repair orders on this vehicle and are keen to speek to others who have had any problems with their vehicles and particularly if they have any satisfaction from Ford. Please note i WAS a huge Ford fan and this car has shattered my dream.

Ron, my 04 v8 rtv has had stalling at idle problems for the last two years, last week they found a split in a vacuum line and I'm hoping that will be the last of it. It also slips the clutch and all the help I got was "they do that, you should see the XR6
