Hi guys,
I have just bought a EF 5L Fairmont Ghia from the damaged auctions, the body needs a bonnet and bumper, and its bloody dirty (got it for $1700!!!) We think it has been repo'd or stolen, there are no keys and some guys random belongings.

Can i just buy a new barrel and door locks and boot lock? I have rang the local ford dealer and they said they only keep key records for 10 years, and i dont like the idea of some clown out there having keys for my car (apparently an auto locksmith can copy the old key from a lock for about $50).

Also it is parked up with steering lock on, can i get the old barrel out with it on? It came with the keypad for it, can i just reteach this? or is it a matched pair with the barrel or something??

I cant wait to get the limo on the road!
cheers
-Jamie

yes u can reteach the keypads - its in the teco docs on this site

locksmith will do it for you just show them you have brought the car leagly and they are all good

I went and got a key cut by taking the boot lock to a locksmith, $40 for 2 keys and it all went sweet!! Key in the barrel and she started in no time at all

not a bad pickup there mate....is it a series 1 or 2 and do u need a viv?

looks like an easy repair and good price..

dunno what a viv is. Its a series 1, having a bit of trouble finding a bonnet and a bumper, but i have got it going, shes done 143,000km, runs perfect, shifts great. By the time its over the pits will probably owe me 3.5k (including some nice new 17"s)

bonnet and bumper from any ef/el/nf/nl fairmont/fairmont ghia/Fairlane/ Fairlane ghia/ LTD will fit

Cheers, i have talked to a couple of wreckers, 1 has 3 people on the waiting list, and another one has been looking for 4 weeks!!
