Door handle issue is caused by the door hinge bushes wearing out. If your door handle keeps breaking check to see if the door moves up and down. If it's loose take the door off and replace the hinge pins and bushes then re-fit the door and check to make sure the latches meet evenly. Ask me how I know... I think you can buy spare pins and bushes from Rare Spares.
xd xe xf door handles never break if you replace the door hinges plastic parts which stops sag which in turn stops the pressure on the handle. the handle should not have to be lifted to open the door. on my xe the doors swing open on their own with no pressure applied to the handles after lightly lifting it to unattach the lock. Alternatively put a bolt and nut thru the centre of the handle spring and it wont ever break even if the doors are sagging.
VK commodore. If you look on eBay you’ll see a couple of variants but the one they bought is on there. It’s narrow enough for the cooler pipes to go either side and the fill point means you don’t have to use an expansion tank.
@@Jason_Cunts Cheers for the reply man, I got one from Worley Cooling last month for around $200 Full Alloy & Looks the goods, haven't fitted & run yet still building. FYI: Stay away from Sniper Performance 6mm Main Cap Girdles, I had to modify my Windage Tray, Machine material of the Main Caps so the studs & nut had enough thread to positively engage. (Which they Don't tell you, until U have bought it) = More dollars spent, time & frustration.
From memory Oil pressure sensor should be under the inlet manifold on the block There are 2 sensors under there It's the one closest to the back not the front
Jason does a great job presenting, better than Mark. 3in exhaust is too small using the internal wastegate. 3.5 in will be better suited. While I'm at it, you can have the cold side coming out the passenger side using the standard intake manifold using 3in pipe. Would look a look and perform better.
Ive owned so many xf's ....injected Fairmonts were great.........this thing is crazy awesome I WANT ONE
This bloke needs to be your main presenter lads. A natural
He may need some convincing mate!
Make sure to leave room with ur air con so u can fit a bigger cooler when u turn it up.. great work

Or you could just buy an XR6 turbo. :-)
Just kidding - very cool and unique build👍
Hey guys what bottom hose did you use for the radiator

What radiator is that
What paint did you use on the exhaust?
Hey mate what radiator did you use from what model? I see the brand. But with the Barra Inlet/Outlet is opposite to XF as Ud know.

Is that car on the fox body platform
When is a Patrol Barra swap happening can use mine for video purposes
We do have a Barra Patrol, we will do a feature soon.
Vk 5ltr bottom hose just needs a trim for vk radiator
Thanks for the tip mate!
Can't wait to see your XE done mate, its going to be a bloody good car!
We got the Radiator idea from you to be honest!
Castlemaine Rod Shop are you guys selling the sway bars yet for the front ?
Glenn .Thornton we hope to have them in the next week or so mate.
Putting the cat so close to the trans pan will it over heat the trans ?
It will be fine, if it does cause a problem they could heat rap it or make a shield but it shouldn't need it.
I have. A ba barra. Skid car. Could use tell me were the oil sensor plug is that goes to side of block
From memory
Oil pressure sensor should be under the inlet manifold on the block
There are 2 sensors under there
It's the one closest to the back not the front
What car is the radiator from
doogzford VK commodore, 6 cylinder model.
@@CastlemaineRodShop1976 cheers. Was going to put xg in my swap but I may do that instead

That seems like a lot a work be much easier to by a xr6 that comes with a Barra save you all that fucking around
That would be too easy mate!
