the power windows are slow and sumtimes stop, how do i greese them? (driverside door just got a new motor and still does it.)

im getting a cat back exhust, stainless steel, cus ill be keeping the car for many of years, any one know of a cheap, but good place in brissy that does exhusts? (probably should have done a search before asking)

thanks.

VCT = Variable Cam Timing. The computer in the car advances and retards the cam at certain RPM's to allow for both low rev power and also high rev power. In an engine with a static cam you can usually only have one or the other (or a compromise of both). VCT allows for the cam to actually be "moved" while the engine is running.

As for the windows, I would say your tracks are dirty and need a clean, theres a thread around here somewhere I'll try to find for you.

Exhaust, RDP (Redcliffe Dyno & Performance) are your best bet, in Brisbane they are the premo place to go. Give them a call about prices.

This shall be your bible for any problem. Read it, Learn it, Know it.
It could make the difference between driving a nice neat and operational ford, or having a dunger that once used to be a great car.

Windows are the second or third post.

Welcome and have fun with your baby.

With exhaust, like Casper mentioned, ring Steve at RDP and mention you're a member here for a genuine 10% off the cost.

EDIT - I think it's 10%. I can't remember.
