The Ford Falcon is available from $21,900 to $62,480 for the 2017 range of models in Sedan and Ute body types.
It's as Aussie as a kangaroo asking you the score in the cricket, or at least it was, and while it’s hard to believe now, as SUVs dominate the roads and local production has ended for good, but there was a time when the Ford Falcon was our biggest-selling car (first knocking off the then-beloved Holden Kingswood for sales supremacy in 1977). It’s also a pretty safe bet that it will keep its record as the longest-running nameplate for an Australian-built car, forever, with its production run extending from 1960 to 2016.
The Falcon is a full-sized family sedan, also sold as a station wagon - back when they were popular - and was very much designed and built for Australians and Australian conditions. Until we all decided we’d rather drive Japanese-built SUVs instead. Whether it's the base Falcon (base) or the top Falcon XR8 Sprint, the $21,900-$62,480 Falcon remains a legend and is no doubt still the family car of choice for a few, diehard, dinky-di Aussies.

Ford Falcon FAQs
Check out real-world situations relating to the Ford Falcon here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Why does my 2002 Ford Falcon idle irregularly and have a delayed throttle response?
An engine that runs well when cold but misfires when It’s warmed up is often a victim of poor air-fuel mixture. That can be caused by an air-leak (such as the intake manifold gasket you’ve already changed) a crack in any of the intake plumbing, faulty fuel injectors, a worn fuel pump, a corrupted ECU (computer), blocked fuel line or about a thousand other things.
But in this case, knowing the Ford AU Falcon’s engine, I’d be taking a close look at the ignition system, specifically the coil pack. These have been known to fail regularly, often displaying their problems including a rough idle, once the engine has warmed up; precisely the symptoms you’ve noted. That said, rather than rush out and buy a new coil pack, have the vehicle scanned electronically to rule out any other potential source for the problem.

What oil can I use instead of Ford Engine Oil?
You need to keep using an oil that is compatible with LPG as this fuel places different stresses on the lubricating oil compared with an engine burning petrol or diesel. Provided you stick with the correct grade and API rating and choose a known brand (not the Brand-X supermarket stuff) you should be fine. Don’t forget to change the filter every time you change the oil.

What is causing my 2001 Ford AU Falcon ute to miss?
A miss is fairly common on these engines and is usually tracked back to either a dud spark-plug or a crook ignition lead. If you’ve already changed the plugs, I’d suggest checking the ignition leads for excessive resistance. The other major source of misses in these engines is usually a fault with the coil-packs. Swapping these for another set is a pretty easy way to check whether they’re the culprits. Don’t forget, however, that a miss can also be fuel or mechanical-related, but experience with these engines shows that the ignition system is often the cause.
According to government websites, the 2001 Falcon six-cylinder can, indeed, use E10 fuel. You may find, however, that you use a little more E10 over 100km than normal unleaded, so the savings at the pump might not be as marked as they seem on paper.
