So you have decided to join this website to show of you car. Here are a few tips to stop you looking like a idiot.

Spelling and Grammar.

Most people would have Google toolbar, if not, I'm sure there are web browsers that have a Spell check function. Not everyone wants to read you lame TXT speek or put up with ill-formed post's.
You can always use spell check to correct errors, and remember to use punctuation. A blob of writing is hard to read, use sentences and paragraphs.

Calm down!

Every now and then a hero comes through, wide eyed and enthusiastic about their latest car. Many younger people go through the Clear Lights, neon's and painted dashboard phase. You will cop flack about it, everyone does, so there is no need to crack the shits pick fights. If it bothers you, ignore it.

Use the 'Search button'

Yes we have one! Chances are your question is answered already. Have a quick search and see if its covered, if not then post a new thread. And remember to be informative, "I have a falcon and it won't start" isn't very helpful at all.

Beware of Dansedgli

He will ban you, like a ninja. Piss him off and you'll know about it.

Gday Fellas,
New to the site.
I Just purchased a $1500 EF Falcon. I went through the process of replacing the front discs, calipers and shocks. When i turn the car On everything is sweet, but after a few seconds or a couple of minutes the Check ABS signal comes up on my dash. I Am 100% Sure that the sensors have been cleaned before i re-inserted them into their slots but not sure what could be causing the 'Check ABS' Signal.

Any Help Would Be Great Cheers.

Hey KR1STO :wave: ,

Ill be sure to upload my car to the garage, But i saw that you
were looking to modify your vehicle and install a sunroof?

I realised that the Sunroof on my EF Falcon was an extra when
it was first purchased by its original owner, Would you have an
idea of how much the extra would have been at the time ? 1996 EF Falcon

could be one sensor only..
Just takes one to stop the whole system...
Try getting a few sensors from the wreckers and swap a few around..
If that doesn't help, look at the module...
